alt tags

[bch33]

If I do an alt tag for a hotspot on an image, it does not show up as the page is loading, but if I do an alt tag with the image itself selected, it will show up.

Here's the question- if I do NOT do an alt tag on the hotspot is the text from the alt tag for the selected image alone "clickable" (will it work as a link?) or do I have to have the alt tags for the hotspot typed in also?

Hope that makes sense.
Thanks

First the alt tag is for roll-overs only.(when over a pic. it tells you about it).

So the hotspot itself will act as a <a href>.

ie.
<img src=&quot;images/montage1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; usemap=&quot;#Map&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Made by Sharky99&quot;><map name=&quot;Map&quot;><area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;261,165,260,164,289,217,344,230,430,226,480,225,481,73,24,2,4,75,26,163,140,136,158,137,185,149,216,148,240,153&quot; href=&quot;page1.htm&quot; alt=&quot;Link to page #1&quot; title=&quot;hotspot_page#1&quot;><area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;234,258,291,242,380,311,398,375,353,418,373,439,389,465,428,498,426,530,423,578,392,588,369,602,323,610,268,611,165,609,97,589,86,558,90,505,122,475,106,380,150,312&quot; href=&quot;page2.htm&quot; alt=&quot;Link to page #2&quot; title=&quot;hotspot_page#2&quot;></map>

If you look at this code, one large pic with two hotspots each of those pointing to a dif page.

So your code should look a bit like this one.(not the coords but the rest should)

Hope it'll help ;-) Have Fun...
