Adding Image Maps to Your Web Site Based on Windows SharePoint Services
Image maps allow you to take a graphic and designate specific areas as
hotspots that link to Web pages or email addresses. As an example, we've
created an image map out of a map of Australia. You can hover your mouse
over one of the regions to find out its name, and you can click on it to go to
another page.
To take an image and turn it into an image map, open the Web site based on Windows SharePoint Services in
FrontPage 2003 and do the following:
-
In the Folder List view, double-click on the page in which you
want to insert the image map. This opens the page.
Note: If you don't see a list of file folders and files, select
Folder List from the View menu.
-
Select Import from the File menu, then
click the Add File button, browse to the graphic you want to
import, click Open, and then select OK.
Note: It's customary to store graphics files in the images
folder.
- Click on the graphic file in the Folder List, drag it to where
on your page you want it, right-click on the graphic file on the page and select
Show Pictures
Toolbar.
- Click one of the circled shapes on the Pictures toolbar,
then move the cursor over the graphic, and
click and drag on the graphic to create the image map hotspot. When you
release your mouse, the shape will be completed and the Insert Hyperlink
dialog box will automatically open.
- Click Existing File or Web Page to link to a Web page or file,
click Place in This Document to link to a bookmark in the page, click
Create New Document to link to a new document, or click E-mail
Address to link to an e-mail address.
Tip: If you want the visitor to your site to see text when they hover over the
hotspot area, be sure to click the ScreenTip button and add text there.
- Click OK when you're done with the hyperlink for that hotspot.
Repeat steps 6 - 9 until your image map is complete.
