Hi all, not too sure if this is the right area if it isn't then my apologys. What I am trying to do is add an image map to 1 of my images on my website, but as I am a bit of a noob I need a little help. I have been reading this page http://www.useractive.com/certificate/html/htmltut8.html and I would like to image map one of my images into 4 areas leading to different URLs Here is the image http://www.bookmethatnight.com/images/index_02.png I want to map it so each of the 4 images are clickable but I have no idea how to get the coordinates for each, can anyone help please? I figure that once I get the coordinates it's going to be fairly easy for me to add to my page (famous last words lol ) Any advice appreciated as always!
You can find the coordinates by opening it in a photo editor like Jasc Paint Shop Pro or probably MS Paint even and then hovering the mouse over the points you need.
Thanks TOPS30 I didn't realise that brings up the 2 coords I need. I thought it will only give me the one but it gives 2 per point, to give me the 4 I need. Thanks buddy and feel free to close this thread, I feel like a bit of a twerp. Now to see if I can get it to work how I want it to. Oh the fun of tinkering.
Use the hotspot tool in dreamweaver, click the image icon in th commoin tools toolbar, then Draw rectangle hotspot etc. Ash
With CIRCLE it generally becomes easier, if that's a shape you can use: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/images/images_famsupp_220.html
Thanks guys I am going to try it with Paint first. Wish me luck as I am a bit of a noob at these things.
Many thanks to bacanze for all his help! Sorted out all the coordinates and even gave me the complete edited HTML to add to my index page, a thoroughly nice helpful guy, thanks buddy!
