HTML - Image Mapping Good Or Bad?
Hi,
My latest web site developement was very heavy loaded with images, in fact probably 90% of the site is images. I decided to use image maps on most of the pages and was wondering if there are any downsides to image mapping apart from not being to good for the search engines. If anyone has any comments or advice from past experieince i would really appreciate the info CC_DESIGN Similar TutorialsI was wonder what browser or editing program that I can use to see my webpage that would show the map coords as I move my mouse around the webpage please? Thank You in Advance. Hi Friends I got a problem when using image mapping in html using dream weaver.While we map some area in the image it automatically gives co-ordinates in the code and if the window size is changed, the mapping area changed.How to give relative position to the image map not depending on the co-ordinates. Hoping that i will get reply from u soon............... Regards, Padmaja.M. Wow, this site has been SUPER helpful to me So, now that I have my background color and image and all of the fun stuff, I would like to do background mapping. I have the code for the mapping but I do not know how to post it in conjunction w/what background code I am already using. This is the code that I am currently using: <body style="background-image:url(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b9...osition:center center;background-attachment:fixed> <body bgcolor="FFFF66"> ----------------------------------------------- And below is the mapping code that I got from another site (I haven't put any of my info into it, yet) I just need to know about the placement of the code.......... Can anyone help ----------------------------------------------- <img src ="planets.gif" width ="145" height ="126" alt="Planets" usemap ="#planetmap" /> <map id ="planetmap" name="planetmap"> <area shape ="rect" coords ="0,0,82,126" href ="sun.htm" target ="_blank" alt="Sun" /> <area shape ="circle" coords ="90,58,3" href ="mercur.htm" target ="_blank" alt="Mercury" /> <area shape ="circle" coords ="124,58,8" href ="venus.htm" target ="_blank" alt="Venus" /> </map> I tried to map an image, but it only partially worked. This is my code HTML Code: <img src="images/about-20.jpg" USEMAP="#choices">
<map name="choices">
<area shape="RECT" coords="0,93,0,70" href="gallery.html">
<area shape="RECT" coords="0.93,98,168" href="bestposters.html">
<area shape="RECT" coords="0,200,93,272" href="create.html">
</map>
The mapping only worked for the third part, the 'create.html' Here is the site this is on: www.demotivationalpictures.com Any ideas why it didn't map the first two parts of the picture? I just started learning HTML for myself, and have come across something very specific that confuses me. When filling the "coords" just how can one find EXACT coordinates of the pixels needed for each point? I understand how image mapping itself works, but when I was going to make one myself, I was lost as to how I would have the accuracy I needed. There's so many pixels of course I can't just eye them lol. But I wondered if there was a way, so I could make them as precise as needed. Thnx I have a problem in implementing image mapping in mouse-over image. Please help in solving this problem. The code which is working for image mapping Code: <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <img src="images/planetgroup.jpg" alt="Planets" usemap=#planetmapping border=0></img> <map name="planetmapping"> <area shape="rect" coords="559,0,612,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="504,0,561,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="449,0,507,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="395,0,451,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="340,0,397,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="292,0,342,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="236,0,297,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="194,0,238,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="148,0,196,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="1,0,49,60" href="http://www.google.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="47,0,103,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="99,0,150,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> </map> </body> </html> But The code after using in mouse-over which needs help Code: <html> <body> <div style="position:absolute; left: 200px; top: 180px; z-index:1"><img src="images/solarsystem.gif" alt="Solar System" height="60" onMouseOver="this.src='images/planetgroup.jpg'; usemap=#planetmapping" onMouseOut="this.src='images/solarsystem.gif';"></img></div> <map name="planetmapping"> <area shape="rect" coords="559,0,612,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="504,0,561,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="449,0,507,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="395,0,451,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="340,0,397,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="292,0,342,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="236,0,297,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="194,0,238,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="148,0,196,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="1,0,49,60" href="http://www.google.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="47,0,103,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> <area shape="rect" coords="99,0,150,60" href="http://www.yahoo.co.in/"> </map> </body> </html> Hey guys. I'm having a little trouble manipulating this image the way I want to. Here's my goal: I have a large image of the city of Louisville and additional images of that are identical, but have certain regions/neighborhoods highlighted. I'm wanting to have the image displayed in full and when the user hovers over a certain area, or part of the city, then the image with that area highlighted is displayed until onMouseOut. Here's what I have so far, the onmouseover doesn't seem to be working at all. Code: <html>

Hey there, first post on this forum so nice to meet you all.. I have a problem with placing an image that has been image mapped. Its either, I have the image in the right place but without the image maps, or in the wrong place with the image maps.. headwrecker! My girlfriends brother persuaded me to box him off a proper band myspace and with the persuasive power of a crate of lager i agreed.. so here is what i have scrapped together... http://www.myspace.com/thecommitments52 (nb: this is only a test page for myself...) You see the main image header and the three white tabs: add, message and comment.. I am using a div style to keep the image header where I want it... Here is a seperate piece of html away from the main piece of html with the image mapped and ready to go: Quote: <map name='Map1'> <area shape='polygon' href='http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=invite.addfriend_verify&friendId=423424063' alt='' title='' coords='543,181 668,145 679,178 553,218' /> <area shape='polygon' href='http://messaging.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=mail.message&friendID=423424063' alt='' title='' coords='502,252 745,236 747,274 503,287' /> <area shape='polygon' href='http://comment.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile_commentForm&friendID=423424063' alt='' title='' coords='455,297 694,359 687,395 446,332' /> </map> <img border='0' usemap='#Map1' src='http://h1.ripway.com/palefountain/png.png' alt='' /> here is the main HTML i insert into the myspace section: Code: <style>

If someone can just point me in the right direction, or better yet implement the/a code that will keep the banner where i want it plus having the image maps, i would be over the moon as this little thing is really getting on my nerves !haah! Oh yes, also... Instead of imape mapping I tried to play a sneaky little trick by laying a transparent clickable div layer over the buttons in the image but they change position in every browser and different screen resolutions so no good! Thank you in advance for any advice... I have been experimenting with a new page setup and I've got a problem I just can't figure out. Anyway, I have an image mapped for navigation on the left-hand side of the page/table. It seems to work fine and everything is fine up to this point. Now I am trying to add another navigational map to the image at the top of my page and when I code it, the map seems to work fine, but either the images or the table gets thrown off and I just can't figure out why it's doing it or how to fix it. The code for the top image map is as follows: <body bgcolor="#000000" text="000000" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="600" height="770"> <tr> <td width="600" height="150" colspan="3"> <img src="http://vance.thebams.org/junk/images/new images/topbg.jpg" usemap="#topmap" border="0"></td> <map id="topmap" name="topmap"> <area shape="rect" coords="51,98,107,119" href="index.html"/> <area shape="rect" coords="121,99,218,119" href="bookkeeping.html"/> <area shape="rect" coords="232,99,357,119" href="payroll.html"/> <area shape="rect" coords="371,99,457,119" href="web.html"/> <area shape="rect" coords="474,98,607,119" href="personal.html"/> <area shape="rect" coords="621,98,710,119" href="contact.html"/> </map> </tr> The page that shows exactly how I want the page to look without the map at the top of the page can be seen here. When I add the image map at the top of the page it ends up looking like this. You'll notice that the area around the pen's tip is off. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I did wrong and how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Vance My goal is to create a website to display a yearbook. First I wanted to display the overall page, with imagemapping to enlarge any images on the page, whether it be a group photo, an indivdual photo...etc. Some pages could have 1 image, others could have 40 images, and not each page has the images in the same spot, so each page would require it's own image mapping. My question is how do I work around screen resolution? I would prefer to use divs and tables for % imaging, but if I do, I can't use an image map. Or is there a way to make an image map that is also based on %? The whole project will encompass about 70 pages of images. Thanks So I've actually only started using HTML about four days ago. As soon as I made a website, I decided it was time. I know everyone dislikes iFrames, etc., but it's right for my site. ;D Anywho... My first problem is that I can't seem to use image maps correctly. I've done everything; I even downloaded cutemap and some other image mapping programs. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong? Can anyone here correct me on my coding or my mistake? I'm a bit confused. http://amberz.webs.com/ (Just a test site.) Even though I used image map and all, you can't click on any of the links. This is the exact HTML I've been working for this index page. HTML Code: <div style="text-align:center;"><iframe src="http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/xx280/Summer-breeze/Graphics/SummerBreezeLayout.png" width="635" height="602" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"> <body><map id="imgmap2009712214216" name="imgmap2009712214216"><area shape="rect" alt="" title="" coords="438,297,613,340" href="http://summer-breeze.webs.com/info.htm" target="_self" /><area shape="rect" alt="" title="" coords="531,343,614,366" href="http://summer-breeze.webs.com/crew.htm" target="" /><area shape="rect" alt="" title="" coords="523,370,616,403" href="http://summer-breeze.webs.com/adoptions.htm" target="_self" /><area shape="rect" alt="" title="" coords="482,405,617,436" href="http://summer-breeze.webs.com/graphics.htm" target="_self" /><area shape="rect" alt="" title="" coords="426,438,621,473" href="http://summer-breeze.webs.com/photography.htm" target="_self" /></map></body> <iframe name="I1" id="I1" src="http://www.example.com" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" height="343" border="0" frameborder="0" style="width: 355px" scrolling="auto"> </iframe> <!--This bit is only viewed by browsers that don't support inline frames --> Your browser doesn't support inline frames. </iframe></div> Another question I have is: How can I make it so the image is fixed? I'm probably going to have a lot of content on my site, and it's a non-repetitive image, which will just look silly. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...Background.png This is the image I'll be using for the sub-pages, and if I can figure out how to image map correctly, it'll include a link back home. Thank you to anyone who can help. Sorry for sounding like such a frames/HTML n00b ahaha. Wondering if it's possible to make a circular image change to a different image on mouseover for each of the links in the sample photo. I'm thinking this would be easy to do if the image were square and not circular. Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Is this possible and could you point me in the right direction? So, I have my logo which is a GIF with transparent background. I have placed it on a webpage that has a solid background using CSS. As my deveopment has been with ie8, its all been fine. I tried it on another computer which has ie7 and the image looks rough. The outside has a small white border and it does not sit nicely oin the background. I upgraded it to ie8 on that pc and now it all looks lovely again. Is there something I can do to make it look better on ie7? Trouble is, that's the only pc we have that had ie7 on it so I don't know if its all ie7, or something was up with that install. Thanks in advacnce. Does anyone know the form for hotmapping an image of the US map with the states PA, NJ, and DE? the map is called "usmap.jpeg" and the coords for a state a is PA: 453,133,458,130,461,132,504,123,510,130,508,135,513,145,505,153,461,160,455,134 If you could post the code lines for the map appearing with the PA hotspot, then I can figure out the rest of the states. Thanks you very much! (code from <body> to the end of the hotspot.) And you don't need to see the image to plant the spots. I just need the code for the image and the PA hotspot. On my site I am trying to have 2 separate images load randomly, that part I have figured out, however, each image is actually a 2 sided banner with a link on each side, as of right now I am using the code below link each image to a single page, however, I need to map 2 different links on the image and I'm unsure how I should edit the code to do that: function showImage(){ if(whichImage==0){ document.write('<a href ="link.html"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=645 height=125></a>'); } else if(whichImage==1){ document.write('<a href ="link.html"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=645 height=125></a>'); } else if(whichImage==2){ document.write('<a href ="link.html"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=645 height=125></a>'); } else if(whichImage==3){ document.write('<a href ="link.html"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=645 height=125></a>'); } else if(whichImage==4){ document.write('<a href ="link.html"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=645 height=125></a>'); } } </script> I've made a lot of progress on my website: Bands 4 Babes but I'm still struggling with getting everything to look the same on all the different browsers. Basically what I'm finding is: Chrome and Safari (PC) - Displays exactly as I want it to Firefox 3.5.2 (PC) - Displays properly except for the Home link in the purple bar is a few PX too far left and the --- above home is a line too high Firefox and Safari on Mac - FF exhibit the same problem as above, but most fonts (sizes and faces) are off on the mac versions. This also throws off alignments of other stuff. IE8 - Two solid lines on top and bottom of page are a few pixels too low which ruins the continuity of the box frame I created. If somebody could take a look at my code and give me some thoughts on what the problem is I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Hey HTML Forum!! So im gettingr really frustrated with this problem I'm having with this HTML issue. I did all of the coding in dream weaver(Yea by coding I mean drag and drop )Everything looks great opened up in dream weaver. Then when I open it in a browser (IE and Firefox) everything is all chopped up. check this out. First shot is in DW, second shot is opened in IE: What do you guys think? This is only the second website I have done and havnt had much formal training so im kind of flying by the seat of my pants. Thanks in advance!!! EDIT: You can actually go to the home page and see how bad it looks. www.miattconstruction.com the home page isnt AS bad but go to project or contacts and the pages get worse. I'm trying to create a spreadshirt layout that can go good with my website... freewebs.com/stevenwang Anyone have any ideas? litclothing.spreadshirt.com Hi everybody, I am building a new website, and I have a browser compatibility issue. I'm using a table - and I'm looking to have a border, thin blue bar, text, thin blue bar, then border. My HTML displays fine in Firefox, but it looks like junk in IE (fat lines MUCH larger than 5 pixels!). Can you help me by telling me why? Thanks Jason ----------------------------------------------------- <table> <tr height=5px> <td> </td> <td style="background-color: blue;"> </td> <td>My Text</td> <td style="background-color: blue;"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> |
