addendum to class 6

First of all, in the addendum to class 5, when I had used the marquee tag on a Chris Ashley HTML drawing (because I think its totally hilarious to do that to his work), the tag wouldn't close because of some CSS script I had left in there, so the upshot was that all the posts on the page below it were marqueed as well, but only in firefox, and I work in IE at home because of clients. Anyway I was very touched that two of you actually apologized for not being able to read the lessons. And so, I forgive you all for not being able to read rapidly moving marqueed text.

Next thing, I was in awe of the fact that you all worked for over two hours straight doing this exercise the hard way. I was also in awe of the fact that instead of trying to get away with the bare minimum, many of you went absolutely mental with the uneven grids, and over 300 cells. I approve of mental.

Neil came the closest to figuring out an easier way to do this when he tried to search the text in the ordinary text editor. Though it didn't quite work, I gave it some thought later, and what might work is this (and some of you had tried it and almost got your results faster):

When saving for web, save all the cells as HTML and images.

If you have changed the compression options for individual cells, for that mix and matched look, make sure to select custom settings and for the slices option, all slices, photoshop will actually remember those different compression settings for each cell.

Some of you already know that what it produced was a table in HTML, and we didn't want that, but we do now.

Go to view > source in the firefox browser menu. Save the file as a .txt
