Sliced images with hyperlinks: what then?

Indeed, I thought to be clever and made a nice footer with hyperlinks - made in PSD sliced images. But having this great folder with images and an html file from PSD, what use is that for Freeway? Can I use it at all?

This from the Using Freeway Guide

Graphics

Don’t spend precious design time churning out sliced-up
and web-optimized graphics before you step across to
Freeway. As well as ready-made GIF, JPEG and PNG files,
Freeway 5 Pro can import your original high-resolution
images whether they’re in TIFF, PDF or even native
Photoshop or Illustrator format. (Use 24-bit PNG if you
have Freeway 5 Express.) If you have transparency in
your original graphics this will be carried across into your
Freeway designs.
Scale, crop and stack your images, and your output will
always be generated as a screen-resolution, web-optimized
JPEG or GIF, or PNG if you prefer.
If you want sliced graphics—useful for making rollover
parts of a larger graphic, for example—then uncheck
the Combine Graphics option in the Inspector palette.
This produces web-ready graphics sliced along the
uncombined item’s boundaries, without you having to
take virtual scissors to your original images. Just move the
object to adjust the slice.

Not sure if I get it… or if it answers the question?!

The answer is that there is no need to slice images outwith FW - FW does a great job of slicing and whats more you do not need to go back to PS if you want to change something.

If you really want to use your PS generated html footer then it can be added to your FW document using PHP includes but with that route does come some coding and of course PHP pages.

Alternatively you could try adding the footer using an iFrame but if there are links etc in there then getting them to target correctly from the iFrame could be a headache.

Post your footer online somewhere and we can have a look and give more advice/information.
