Imagemapping
Making an imagemap requires just a few simple steps:
- Make your .map file (the text file that contains the
coordinates and associated URLs for the different parts of the image). Mac users can use Web
Map 1.01, Windows users, try Web
Hotspots Imagemap.
- Once you've made your .map file, put it in the same folder as the .gif file that is displayed
for "clicking" on the web page.
- Then write the link for your map in that web page's html file.
The link is written by
specifying the .map file as the href, then putting in the associated image's tag with ISMAP at the end,
then closing the anchor. For an imagemap in your home directory, you'd write this;
<a href="/people/yourusername/blah.map"><img
src="blah.gif" ISMAP></a>
In this case, blah.map and blah.gif must be in the same directory as your home page. Upload and test!
