Creating a link to each area

You can create a rectangular, circular, or polygonal area, and create a link to each area.

1. Click the [Polygon], [Circle], or [Rectangle] button on the "Image Map Editor".

2. Drag diagonally to include the desired area of the image.

=> When you release the mouse button, the area is set and the dialog box to specify link destination appears.

Hint

To create a circular area, click the [Circle] button, and then drag on the screen. To create a polygon area, click the [Polygon] button, and then click as many times as the number of apexes you want to create (each point that you click becomes an apex of the polygon).

3. Specify the location to which you want to establish a link, and then click the [OK] button.

=> An item is added to the "Image Map Editor".

4. Enter the meaning of the created area and an explanation of the linked location in [Alternate Text].

Caution! Importance of Alternate Text

By entering any character in [Alternate Text], even on a Web browser that cannot display images, you can jump to a location to which a link is created. You must not omit the alternate text, therefore.

5. Repeat the above steps to create multiple links to one image.

Hint Changing the location of a link

Click the desired item on the "Image Map Editor" and then click the [Edit] button. The dialog box for changing the location of a link appears.

Hint Deleting a link

You can click a desired item on the "Image Map Editor" and then click the [Delete] button. As a result, the area corresponding to the item disappears and the link is deleted.
