Sizing Fireworks image for Dreamweaver - Precisely

I'd be grateful for advice - How do I fit an image from Fireworks precisely
into a set Dreamweaver table cell. For example, I have a table row that
spans the entire page, and it is split into 2 equal columns. How do I get
the image ( backgound table cell image which has a linear gradient) to be
the precise size required.

Thanks in advance
Paul B.

I create a new page in DW. I insert an image on that page. It's inserted
at precisely the same size as the image exists on my hard drive. I don't
see a problem!

Yes Murray, I was thinking the image had to be initially the correct size
in
Fireworks before exporting. I'm slowly getting there in Dreamweaver, bit
by
bit, but how do I now get Dreamweaver to resize the image correctly?

Thanks again
Paul B.

You just insert it. DW will only change the image's size if you tell it
to.
Are you having a problem with this?

HTML is HTML in any version of DW! 8)

If you do not explicitly set many HTML tag attributes, then you give the
browser permission to use its default values, e.g., page margins, cell
spacing, table borders, etc.

More often than not, the default values are NOT what you want. 8)

I just fathomed it out - I didn't have the height + vertical spacing set
to
0. Beforehand I was getting a thin white space completely round the image
which was noticeable when next to another table cell colour. I'm working
withv Dreamweaver 3, whether thats the difference?

Thanks for advice regarding resizing when image exported into Dreamweaver.
