does anyone know how to do something like this? and i think they have image map on there and i would like some help on doin that

**EDIT**
i should probably show yall the link. here's the layout i'm workin on: CLICK HERE so whenever someone clicks on one of the imagemaps links, how can i get it to show in the same box instead of in a different window?

oh and the links arent right yet cuz i'm gonna upload it later

On image mapping? There are a few tutorials on this list:

oh, i already know how to do that...[reads the firs post again] ohhh!!! yeah i meant whenever someone clicks on one of the imagemaps, how can i get the page to show up in the same iframe box? sorry for the confusion

Oh..that would be really confusing to do in xanga. Because you don't have control over the pages in xanga, for example the CLAF and profile etc...I don't think you can even do that.

ok so it's hard to explain or it cant be done?

I don't think it can be done. Because you know with domains, you make your own pages, you can't do that with xanga. The links should all come out into the little iframe though.

Oh, I think I know what she means, and I've been wondering how to do the same!
Let's say I have my own sites (like some geocites things), and I want to have them in a little box (the iframe), like the one she has on her xanga. How do I use image mapping to make it so when I click on a link (one that's above the box) the site shows up in the iframe?
I think that's what she means.. if not, oh well, I still wanna know.

Simple.... You set the target of the link to the name of your iFrame.
^_^ Let's say your iFrame is named... contentone. You'd set up the link like so ::

CODE

<a href="index.html" target="contentone">Link</a>

To see an example of this go here. Click on one of the network pages... Most of the other ones open in new windows.

^Wouldn't that only be good for websites and not xanga?

It's still an iFrame, isn't it? I dunno... It should still work, because it's still and iFrame, encrypted or not. You'd just need to give it a name or whatever.... Oh, and for image mapping you do this ::

CODE

<AREA SHAPE=RECT HREF="http://" ALT="Visit SR." TARGET="contentone" COORDS="774,591,796,599">

I think, if you had the entire source encrypted, it should work. The computer will still read it as an iFrame and should target the correct place.

It would work if she encodes the html/codes.

Where do you put that in the iframe code?

Uh.... It should look something like this.

CODE

<iframe src="home.html" name="frameone" style="height: 200px;" frameborder="0" width="450"></iframe>

Change all relevant information.... Height, width, src and such.

yes! it worked! it worked!!! it worked!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!!



thanx for your help, everyone!
