Image Linking

handeyman · 06-13-2008, 05:28 AM

Hello I am making a website for a friend, and the front page will have a giant typewriter. I want each letter to link to a different page.

How can I make one image link to different things by clicking on different parts of it?

chop the image into pieces and each piece of image link to different pages...Good luck!!!

If you are using Dreamweaver There is a option called hotspot tool you can use that. Fireworks has this same tool too. It generates a javascript.

you can use some basic tools like photo viewer to break it into pieces and the basic html tag like <a href> ........

Maybe you could use the HTML area? I know it's simple - not sure if it's valid XHTML or not but it's there as an option for you. How similar is it to the 'hotspot tool' I don't know?

Anyway heres a liink to the area tag, check it out?

Yep thats an excellent way to do it to. Using this way, you can actually make every individual pixel of the image link to a different location.
