how do you use one. i have a friend that wants to place one on his site, but doesn't know how. he asked me if i'd do it for him, but i don't know how to do it either.

any links to explanations on how to make one would be greatly appreciated. also, if anyone just simply knows how to make one, then please let me know.

thanks!

Put the coordinates in the <HEAD>:

<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<MAP NAME="navbtns">
<AREA SHAPE="POLY" COORDS="1,1,1,50,50,50,50,1" onClick="parent.frames.CENTERFRAME.document.location = 'new.html'")>
</MAP>
</HEAD>

The coordinates goes like: x,y, x,y, x,y, x,y. The example above should make a square. (if I got it right *S*)
Use onClick="" if you need the status window to show something else than the url. HREF="" works too of course.

Then you put a reference to the map in the <IMG>- tag:

<img src="menu.gif" usemap="#navbtns">

do you (or anyone else) happen to know how to engineer an image map? i, like i said, have a friend that wants one made, and i'd like to get it done.

if anyone may have links to somewhere that could possible explain a map or something, then that would be great.

thanks in advance.

FrontPage 2000 does it. Ulead SmartSaver Pro is a great program for it. It also does Image sliceing and optimization. It also can act as a photoshop plugin.

ok... here is the link. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

The name of it is MapEdit. It's made by a company called "boutell", or so their site says. Click here (http://www.boutell.com/mapedit/) to go to the description page, or here (http://www.boutell.com/mapedit/download.html) to go directly to the download page.
