    Help me, please... on the Charity template Charity template

    I am trying to change the text "Home Who are we? Our Work" etc.
    After renaming everything in Photoshop CS4, than using Save for Web & Devices, select HTML and Images it saves the file as charity.html. When I open it everything is in place, except the edited text and the green background behind the text. Appears as blank white space and no text at all. Any ideas? :(:(:(:(

    Here is the code that creates the menu names

    Code:
    <li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR="Red"]Home[/COLOR]</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR="#ff0000"]Who are we?[/COLOR]</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR="#ff0000"]Make a donation[/COLOR]</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR="#ff0000"]Our work[/COLOR]</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR="#ff0000"]News &amp; press[/COLOR]</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com">[COLOR="#ff0000"]Contact us[/COLOR]</a></li>
    (No graphics work needed here)
    All you had to do was open the index.html file in a text editor.
    Change the the words in red to what you want.
    Save the file.
    All done.

    I would start with a fresh copy of the template to edit and not the one you have been working on.

    my pleasure helpmeplease.
    If you look at the template and compare it to what you did in photoshop (Save for Web & Devices, select HTML and Images) you will see the difference in the two.
    Save for Web - creates a table format. It slices up the graphic into small parts to decrease load time. One large picture sliced into small parts.

    The template you downloaded uses several individual graphics which come from the psd file and a css file which sets the parameters on how to display the template and an index.html file which tells the browser what to display.

    If you want to alter or change one of those graphics used in the template then use Photoshop to make your edits.

    The css and html files use a text editor.
    Keep us informed as to your progress.
