SUMMARY
This article describes how to insert an Image Sensitive Map (ISMAP) into
your HTML document. It does not describe how to create a MAP file, nor how
to set it up on your Web server. You can search the Internet to obtain more
information about the tools used to create MAP files and the requirements
for using them on a Web server.
MORE INFORMATION
To insert an ISMAP into your HTML document, do the following:
- Create or open a document based on the HTML.DOT template.
- From the Insert menu, choose Hyperlink and select the URL tab.
- In the URL text box, type the name of your MAP file.
- Choose the Image button and highlight the gif or jpeg image associated
with your MAP file. Choose OK.
- Choose the Advanced button.
- Select the Sensitive Map (ISMAP) option.
- Select the desired Text Alignment (Align) option and choose OK.
- Choose OK.
- Choose OK.
When your HTML document is posted to a server, you should be able to click
on the various sensitive regions of the graphic and hyperjump to those
locations as specified in the MAP file.
What Is an ISMAP?
An ISMAP is an attribute of the IMG element that informs the browser that
the image is a sensitive MAP--that is, a graphic that contains hyperlinks.
You can add an ISMAP attribute with Internet Assistant, but you need a MAP-
editing tool to create a MAP file with sensitive areas, and you need to
work with your Web administrator to configure your server to recognize and
process the hyperlinks.
