Question

i have this GUI screen shots from the design team which i needs to convert to a web page and what not. i’m thinking of finding some website which resembles the GUI so that i can copy and paste the html so i don’t have to start from scratch. the only drawback about this method is i don’t know what website actually looks like that so that might means a lot of browsing time. hehe.

So just wondering if there’s a tool which can help me do the search? Or even better yet if there’s a tool which can convert image into html web page equivalent, that would be even better.

i guess i’m just another lazy uncreative programmer trying to get the gui part done quick and dirty, hehe.

thanks.

Answer 1

You mean you have a PNG, GIF or JPG screen-shot… and you want to feed that into a program and have it spit out a collection of HTML and CCS which when viewed in a browser would look just like that image?

I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but I would be very, very, very surprised if this was the case.

It’s basically just impossible. If you see a box on the screen, it could be a text area, or a div, or a td, or a gif, or any one of fifteen different things. There’s no way at all a program could every figure out which HTML element to use.

I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to write HTML yourself. A tool like Dreamweaver will help speed the process if you’re new to HTML. But I’ll bet ya two bits to a farthing that there’s nothing on the planet which will automate this job.

Not the answer you wanted, sorry. But it’s the answer.
