How to Create Two Websites Using Image Mapping

Image Mapping In this assignment, you will learn how to create two websites using image mapping. In Photoshop 1. 2. 3. 4. In Photoshop create a photo which is 1200 x 900 pixels Locate the possible places you would like to link to another page or different URL Slice the photo into windows using the slice tool On the tools menu pick slice select tools Slice tool / Slice Select Tool Divide the photo into separate windows 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Right click in each window and select Edit Slice options Place your URL and Target with the same location of file or URL After doing this for all of the windows File> Save for web & Devices Save the file under a new folder on your desktop This will create an HTML file as well as an images folder with all the links on your desk top In Dreamweaver 1. 2. 3. In the Document window, insert a image, and select it. In the Property inspector, click the expander arrow in the lower-right corner to see all properties. In the Map Name box, enter a unique name for the image map. If you are using multiple image maps in the same document, make sure each map has a unique name. 4. To define the image map areas, do one of the following:  Select the circle tool and drag the pointer over the image to create a circular hotspot.  Select the rectangle tool and drag the pointer over the image to create a rectangular hotspot.  Select the polygon tool and define an irregularly shaped hotspot by clicking once for each corner point. Click the arrow tool to close the shape. After you create the hotspot, the hotspot Property inspector appears. Note: You can create multiple hotspot areas, but they are part of the same image map. 5. In the hotspot Property inspector’s Link box, click the folder icon to browse to and select the file you want to open when the user clicks the hotspot, or type the path. 6. In the Target pop-up menu, select the window in which the file should open or type its name. The names of all the frames you’ve named in the current document appear in the pop-up list. If you specify a frame that doesn’t exist, the linked page loads into a new window that has the name you specified. You can also select from the following reserved target names:  _blank loads the linked file into a new, unnamed browser window.  _parent loads the linked file into the parent frameset or window of the frame that contains the link. If the frame containing the link is not nested, the linked file loads into the full browser window.  _self loads the linked file into the same frame or window as the link. This target is the default, so you usually don’t need to specify it.  _top loads the linked file into the full browser window, thereby removing all frames. Note: The target option isn’t available until the selected hotspot contains a link. 7. In the Alt box, type alternative text for display in text-only browsers or browsers that download images manually. Some browsers display this text as a tooltip when the user moves the pointer over the hotspot. 8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to define additional hotspots in the image map. 9. When you finish mapping the image, click a blank area in the document to change the Property inspector. Additional information Modify image map hotspots You can easily edit the hotspots you create in an image map. You can move a hotspot area, resize hotspots, or move a hotspot forward or back in an absolutely-positioned element (AP element). You can also copy an image with hotspots from one document to another, or copy one or more hotspots from an image and paste them on another image; hotspots associated with the image are also copied to the new document. 1. Use the pointer hotspot tool to select a hotspot. 2. Do one of the following:  Shift-click the other hotspots you want to select.  Press Control+A (Windows) or Command+A (Macintosh) to select all of the hotspots. Move a hotspot 1. Use the pointer hotspot tool to select the hotspot. 2. Do one of the following:    Drag the hotspot to a new area. Use the Shift + arrow keys to move a hotspot by 10 pixels in the selected direction. Use the arrow keys to move a hotspot by 1 pixel in the selected direction.
