Hot spots

When I create a hotspot in Front page and publish it I get the little hand thing like you should over the spot and the hyperlink works. But, the hand pointer cursor also is present over the entire picture. How do I avoid this so the hand cursor is only present on the hotspot/hyperlink not on the whole picture?
Thanks for any help you can give.
 
Hi MR Dinsdale,

I don't know if this will work for sure for you.

I just put a hot spot on an image and it acts as you reported.

Now the following might not be acceptable HTML, but I opened Picture Properties:

In picture properties, I see my image name in both Picture source: and in Default hyperlink Location:

When I removed the image name from Location: the whole image doesn't hyperlink, just the hot spot. Now I am previewing in FP, so I won't swear it won't affect the published image.

Try it in a new page with a new image to see if this approach works for you.

PS I eliminated the border as well, but this didn't change anything.

Hope I have been of some help,
Micheal

Hi mrdinsdale,
it sounds like you have a default hyperlink set for the image. You normally do this when you want the whole image to link to a specific page and hotspots within the image to link to other pages. Try selecting the whole image in frontpage and see if a hyperlink is attached.
