Creating a server-side image map

This is how you set up a server-side image map.

StepsTo create a server-side image map:

  1. In Page view or Source view of the HTML editor, select Insert>Image to insert the image into your document.

  2. On the Image tab of the Image Properties dialog box, select the Use A Server-Side Image Map check box and click OK.

    This adds the ISMAP attribute to the IMG element in the source for the current Web page.

  3. Select the image and use Format>Hyperlink to add a hyperlink.

    The Hyperlink Properties dialog box opens to the Hyperlink page. For more information, see “Converting the image to a hyperlink”.

  4. In the Destination text box on the Hyperlink page, specify a URL that points to the server program that processes the image map and ends with a path to the map file.

  5. Install a map file on the server that describes the shapes within the image and their URLs.

    The format of the map file depends on your server.
