Making GIF clickable

stub · 05-13-2011, 06:41 PM

I have some GIFs (or any common format) where I'd like to make an area of the gif clickable. An example might be where I have a picture of a product which has, say, different sizes, and I'd like to make each size a clickable element. Can this be done with some coding trickery (like loading the gif as a background image, or something). How to do this? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Have you tried image maps?

stub, I just did the same thing for a map on a directory
I had to have someone "slice" my map image for me [ex: image ready [photoshop]

Hey. That's great. I never knew there was such a thing in HTML. That was better than I was hoping for
