Notes
•
You must exit the Image Slicer dialog to
manipulate the image.
• It’s important not to modify the image
slice settings in any way between each of
these export operations (for example, do not
change any slice name or resize/add slices).
Any changes you make may result in a
nonfunctional HTML file. If you decide to
modify one or more slice settings, you must
repeat the export process from the
beginning.
Image Maps
Understanding Image Maps
An image map is a Web feature that
lets you jump to different locations by
clicking on specific areas within an
image.
There are two types of image maps:
• Client-side image maps store
image map information right in
your HTML document. URL
information appears at the bottom
of the browser window when a
cursor is moved over the mapped
areas.
• A server-side image map works
differently. Image map
information is saved in a separate
file that is stored on a server and
accessed by a Common Gateway
Interface (CGI) script. Coordinate
information, not URL
information, is displayed at the
bottom of the browser window
when a cursor is moved over a
mapped area.
Client-side image maps are faster and
more efficient because all the imagery
information is present in the HTML
for the page. A server-side image map,
in contrast, requires an extra round
trip of information between the
browser and the Web server. However,
client-side image maps are not
supported by very old browsers
(Netscape Navigator 1.0, for
example).
When a hotspot is clicked (top), the browser
jumps to the page referenced by that link
(bottom).
Client-Side Image Mapping
A client-side image map is an image
that has “hotspots” directly associated
with URL information. When a
hotspot is clicked, the browser jumps
to the page referenced by that link
information.
A client-side image map recognizes
circular and rectangular “hotspots.”
