Defining the area that activates the rollover

Use slice objects or hotspot objects to define the area that triggers the rollover when the pointer is moved on top of it. Slices and hotspots define the rollover's active area.

When the rollover appears in a Web browser, moving the pointer over the area defined with a slice or hotspot activates the assigned behavior.

In a simple rollover, a slice is used to trigger events that occur within the slice object's boundaries. Alternatively, a hotspot can be used to trigger a rollover.

Use a slice object to activate the rollover when the area that triggers the rollover is also the area that swaps out.
Use a hotspot object on top of a slice object when you want the trigger to be a smaller area within the slice.
Use a hotspot or slice object to trigger a rollover in another slice.
