Image Map Dialog Interface Details
The dialog contains:
-
File menu, which allows you to perform one of the following
actions:
-
Use Map File... allows you to use another map file for
your image than the one currently defined.
-
Insert from Map File... allows you to insert mapping
information from a separate map file into your existing map file.
-
Save Map File/Save Map File As... launch the File

Close Dialog
-
Selection and insertion buttons: The left column of the
Image Map Tool window contains two buttons. The top button depicts an
arrow pointing inside a small blue square; the other depicts a text
insertion cursor. When the text insertion cursor is selected, you're
able to work with the text, forms, and images on the page. When the
arrow is selected, you're able to select and manipulate hotspots on an
image.
-
Drawing tools buttons: The middle column of the Image Map
Tool window has three drawing tools--a rectangle tool, a circle tool,
and a polygon tool. Use these to mark off the region of the image to
which you want to attach a link.
-
Link and layer buttons: The right column of the Image Map
Tool window contains three buttons. The first button launches the link
dialog, which allows you to associate a link with a particular hotspot. If
two hotspots overlap, you need to specify which link is followed when
the user clicks in that region. Select one of the hotspots, then pop it
to the top or push it to the bottom. This doesn't change the display;
it determines which link is followed when a user clicks in the
overlapping region.
