Fireworks offers two kinds of slices, namely images and text. When we create a text slice the area will be just an empty table cell ready to receive the text we want to put there. We can even specify when we create the slice what text should be displayed in the area. Object Panel with Image slice selected Object Panel with Text slice selected The left screen capture shows you all the options an image slice offers. You can specify an URL to which the sliced area will link when clicked, you can enter an ALT text, there is an area to define the target.
Fireworks usually gives automatic names to slices.
When you uncheck the box you can enter your own name for the slice. That name will be used as the filename when the document is exported. Attaching behaviors to slices You can attach Javascript behaviors to slices. The most common behavior of course it the simple rollover. The simple rollover is triggered by the pointer moving over the slice or hotspot.
