Text as text...
paraleptropy
I am creating a web page with Photoshop CS 8.0. The problem I'm
having is that the text is compiled as graphix. Is there a way I can
just have a text layer as text rather than having it compile as an
image?
Thanks

Photoshop (PS) is a graphics program. Whatever you create with it, will be a
graphic (image). Creating a web page from PS is not the best plan. You can
make a comp, or a mock-up of the HTML document in PS, and then use elements
of that to construct your HTML doc, using a program specifically designed
for that task.
Using PS to create web pages is like baking a cake over a camp fire... It
can be done, but the results would not be as good as doing it the proper
way.

work.
Thanks alot.

He could have lied to you and told you that PS magically breaks HTML's text
limitations, allowing you to use whatever typeface you want at whatever
size, with any special effects you can come up with, positioned anywhere
you want.
We've all wished for something like that over the years. It just hasn't
happened.

Your best bet is to use the programs to do what they are designed for.
Photoshop/Imagready is for prepping up graphics, and includes limited html
facilities mainly for manipulating graphics, i.e., slices/tables and
rollovers.
Actually assembling the page is done in a an HTML editor.

Jump from Photoshop to Imageready. Slice up the graphic and remove the part
that has the text. In the dialog palette for slices, change that slice from a
graphic (.gif, jpg) to text.
Export the slices/HTML. Open the HTML in an editor or Notepad and add the
text to the now empy box. You may be able to add it in Imageready, I can't
remember offhand.

Make a table with a cell of the same dimensions as the picture, set the
picture as the cell's background image. Then add whatever text you want
on top of the picture.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will certainly give this a shot, as

Yes. Use an HTML editor.
Photoshop is not an HTML editor; it is an image editor. As such, it
creates images. You do not build Web pages in Photoshop; you build
graphics in Photoshop, then use a Web page editor to place the images
and text on a page.
