How can I link certain areas of page to URLs? Thanks.

[barb123]

hi. Thank you for your help. I think this must be simple. I have a GIF I have placed in my Dreamweaver page. I now want to put links on different areas of the page. How do I highlight certain areas and then put the URL link info? (they actually are names of different websites on the GIF)

I wish I could just do this all in Illustrator and export to Dreamweaver would be so simple! anyway, thank you! happy weekend.

Darryn, I did all my maps and works great. Do you know what code I can put in now to make my image get smaller and larger when the browser window is made smaller or larger? So it shrinks or expands with the page?

 

[darryncooke]

you would have to make image dimensions a percentage, however that has the potential to look very bad plus your image map will get thrown off as it uses fixed x and y coordinates.

the only way that this could be done is using flash but thats another can of worms.

i guess you could use javascript but i do not know how.

either way what you are asking for 99% of the time turns out disastrous.
