Creating Image Maps

It is sometimes an inconvenience to have to split up an image into many smaller images just to allow certain parts to link to separate pages. Not only do you have to split the image up correctly, but it has to be reconstructing using complex tables within your web page. To solve this problem, an image map should be used which allows different sections of a single image to be linked to different web pages.

WebDesign provides a visual Image Map maker which allows you to quickly and easily create complex image maps and insert them into your web page.

To create an image map, open the Image Wizard either by dragging it from the tools palette or by selecting the Image wizard from the Insert menu. Select the image on your hard drive and then click the 'Use Image Map' button.

Your image will be opened in a new window along with three other windows which allow you to control the properties and create new boundaries for your image. You can create square or circle boundaries for your image by selecting the appropriate shape in the upper right hand window. Add boundaries by dragging your mouse over the parts of the images that should be linked to other documents.

You can edit the properties for the defined boundaries by selecting the shape in the shapes window. The properties will be shown in the Attributes window.
