Situation:

1) I designed a website layout in Photoshop CS3.
2) I sliced the image in Photoshop CS3.
3) Saved for web in Photoshop CS3.
4) Opened in Dreamweaver CS3.
5) I need to know how to make my "text boxes" into actual "text boxes" so that I can type in them.

I've tried deleting the images that are in the text boxes, then replacing the "background" image with the image again, this will let me type, but it will only let my type starting at the center of the text box (vertical center).

You could use layers, but they have problems with the layout on different resolutions. tables are usable too (but already an aged way of doing things) you can use div tags, this site has some nice info.

My site currently uses layers, but I'm working on a resolution independent model.

I do the background image thing all the time and it works fine. Make sure text align is to the left and if it's to close to the border then give it a margin space.
