GoLive 6.0, CS2 Image Maps
updated 11/05

Image Maps are clickable images containing more than one link. Image areas that contain links are called hot spots. Image Maps are relatively easy to create, and can be an excellent way to add interest to your site.

To create an Image Map, click the image of your choice and select the More Tab in the Inspector. Click the Use Map check box. The Image Map Toolbar will appear. Give the map a user friendly name in the Name field in the Inspector.

Arrow and Region Tools
The Arrow Tool allows easy selection of hot spots, and the next three tools are Region Tools. Use the Region Tools to create the shape of your choice. Use the third Region Tool to create irregular polygons by clicking on shape corners. Add links as usual to any selected hot spot.

The second set of tools allow you to view the hot spots in various ways as you work. They won't affect map appearance in the browser.

  • View hot spot URLs
  • Frame hot spots
  • Color hot spots

Bring Region to Front or Back

  • Use the Bring Region to Front or Back when you wish to select overlapping hot spots.

Linking Hot Spots

  • After creating a hot spot, link it to another page via the Inspector and the Site File.
