[stitch132]

how do i image map there? can you please explain it to me? thanks by the way =]

[shortvi3tlaydee]

well the directions are on the page...... but first click browse and find the picture you want to image map and put the height and width and click STAGE 2 to starting mapping

[stitch132]

okay i figured it out..but where in my layout code do i place the code that i am givin for the image mapped?

[shortvi3tlaydee]

put the code in custom header

[stitch132]

okay. thanks. if i have anymore questions about this i will ask =] i hope im not too much of a bother either =]

[stitch132]

okay. i went to try the image mapping...i don't get it...it didn't work, and yeah. can someone pleeassssssse explain to me how they do it? that way i can understand it? thanks! =]

[shortvi3tlaydee]

can you show the code you have

[stitch132]

this is the code that i got after doing the image mapping:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><MAP NAME='imgmap'><br /><AREA SHAPE='rect' COORDS='2,2,3,2' HREF='www.xanga.com' ALT='Xanga'><br /><AREA SHAPE='rect' COORDS='3,2,3,4' HREF='www.xanga.com/claf' ALT='Edit'><br /><AREA SHAPE='rect' COORDS='3,2,3,2' HREF='www.xanga.com/private/subscriptions.aspx' ALT='Subscriptions'><br /><AREA SHAPE='rect' COORDS='4,4,150,134' HREF='www.xanga.com/private/subscribeto.aspx?user=mysticalxxeyes' ALT='Subscribe'><br /><AREA SHAPE='rect' COORDS='3,2,4,4' HREF='www.xanga.com/logout.asp' ALT='Logout'><br /><AREA SHAPE='rect' COORDS='4,3,149,135' HREF='www.xanga.com/signin.aspx' ALT='Sign In'><br /></MAP><br /><br /><IMG SRC='linkpic.gif' border=0 width=151 height=136 USEMAP='#imgmap'><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

do you need the code i use for my layout?

[sherryvu]

you'll need to upload the image to an image host (you can find a lot of them in the big book of resources, found in the webdesign section) and then replace "'linkpic.gif" with the working url

[sweetdreamsx3]

Oy, I don't use that kind of imagemapper. Do you have any programs such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro?

[stitch132]

yeah i have Paint Shop Pro 9

[misskay]

also i am not sure if i have getten this right, but you don't image map seperate pictures, you image map it as a whole (i may have this wrong, so just ignore it if i have)

[starwberry_apple...]

for all your links you have to add http:// in front, did u do that?
