Image Maps from FM9 RH8

Using TCS2.
I am trying to create an image map in FM and have the hyperlink retained when in the linked RH project. Does anyone know how to do this so that the hyperlink in the active area over an image is retained when bringing the file into RoboHelp (linking to the FM doc) without forcing me to recreate the link in RH? I've read the FM documentation, and I've successfully made the link work in a PDF saved from the FM doc (clicking the graphic successfully launches the link from the PDF), but RH doesn't bring over the hyperlink when I link to the FM doc.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Michael Cohen

I don't want to upload it. Its simply a div with a backgound image that consists of artwork and words. The words of course were not typed in Dreamweaver so I can't select them and make links. I'm fairly new to dreamweaver.
Could I place the artwork as an image on the page and then make links? I don't know how to place an image on the page so that it goes anywhere but the upper left corner. We used to use GoLive 6 (the older version of dreamweaver) and place the artwork on the DW page and make links on the artwork.

Creating colour image map from an array of integers

not really that relvant to swing, or in fact java even but i wasnt sure where to ask it so:
i have an array of integers that represents information about each pixel in an image. i.e. for every pixel there is an integer value.
at the moment i create another image from a quantised version of these integer values, which gives me a greyscale image, where black is low intensity info and white is high.
however what i want to do is create a colour image like you see, for example, on weather forecasts. where low intensity info is blue, then purple, then red, orange, yellow and then white being the highest.
i need some kind of algorithm that does this. does anybody have some code that does this already?
thanks
kevin

sorry for not replying sooner sniper. thanks for your help but i have solved the problem:
thanks to my mate marc for the code.

RH8 image map problem

I created an image map back in RoboHelp 6 and it worked perfectly. When I converted my project recently to RoboHelp 8, the image map pop-ups are not working correctly. I've checked the properties of the image map and they are correct. But the pop-up boxes do not display correctly. I'm going to attached an example of how the same one displays in RH6 and RH8 and a screen shot of my settings.
Can anyone help me with this?

After much trial and error testing around this image map issue, I cannot seem to find a fix for image maps within RoboHelp 8. No matter what I've tried (and it was a lot), nothing seems to fix the image map problem. Even creating a new image map on a new page with totally different info, pop up pages, image, etc. and turning OFF all breadcrumbs - the image map does not display correctly once generated (nor in preview).
I have found a VERY TEDIOUS workaround for this (that I'm not happy about). If I take my original pop-up topic htm pages (9 of them) from my RoboHelp 6 project and the original eHlpDhtm.js file from RH6 and place them in my output Help file from RH8 (overwriting the RH8 with the RH6 files), then the image map works correctly.
The eHlpDhtm.js file has many more scripts in it than just the image map triggers, so I'm not sure what all else I'm affecting when I'm fixing one problem (i.e. not sure how many more problems I'm creating at the same time when fixing one problem.)
It's almost like the "breadcrumbs" feature in RH8 has broken the image maps feature in RH8.
I'm still up for more suggestions as how to fix this if anyone has any ideas.

Image Maps link not working in Acrobat 8 3D PDFs generated from RoboHelp 7

All of my hyperlinks work when I just generated my RoboHelp
project to PDF using RoboHelp 7 with the new Adobe Technical
Communications Suite (with Acrobat 8 3D). However, the links to
topics within the document didn't maintain from the image maps. I
had originally created flowcharts in Microsoft Visio, exported then
as .gifs, and imported them into topics in RoboHelp X5. Then I
created image maps from the boxes to topics in the RoboHelp
project. When I converted my project to RoboHelp 7 and generated
the PDF, all the links work great, except I don't get the
finger-pointing cursor when I hover over the boxes in the
flowcharts like I do with regular hyperlinks. Can someone please
tell me why? Thanks!

Sigh... and this is why no one like to work with newbies...
Thank you for your help. I am embarrased to admit that this was the issue.

Image Map percentage in FW CS6

Hi,
I would like to create Image Map from Fireworks, but instead of pixels, is it possible to use percentage ?
I use FW CS6, so I assume this option has been made available already ?
Otherwise, in a general manner, is it possible to use percentage at all in an HTML export ?
Jos

This sounds like the same problem that I have recently been having with FW CS5:
If I try to edit an exiting text entry, the program allows it -- but as soon as I move the cursor out of the text area, it reverts back to the original, saying that the 'file is locked'.
I also get an error message saying an "internal error" has taken place in the program. Then, when I close the program, I get the following error message:
I have been using this version of FW for several years (it's an authentic, registered copy), but the problem began in just the last few weeks. The only changes that I've made to my system in the last little while are the regular WIndows 7 updates. (Could there be a connection?)
I've tried reinstalling the program, but the problem is still there.
If you find how to solve your problem, can you post how you fixed it?
Thanks.

Exporting image maps, no option to save HTML

Hi All,
I'm trying to export an image map from Illustrator CS6. However I can't get it to save the HTML.
I've setup my hotspots etc. However when I do "Save for Web", there is no option to save "Images & HTML". It only gives me the option of "Image Only".
The only way I've been able to get the HTML is to click on "Preview" from the "Save for Web" screen, and then copy and paste the image map code from there.
I've also tested it with slices, and same thing. There just seems to be no way to get it to generate a HTML file.
Am I missing something? Is there some other way I'm supposed to get it to create the HTML?
Thanks,
Eugene

That's weird that they would simply remove the output option, but still allow URL's to be linked to an object.
Anyway thanks for the response. I've just done some hunting around in Fireworks and figured out how to link hotspots to the Illustrator objects, and output the HTML image map. Problem sorted

How to produce image map with java servlet?

Hello,
I know the way to produce an image map from a static image. And I also know how to use ServeltOutputStream to generate an image on the fly. But I don't know how to use the dynamically generated image to produce an image map. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

The database is a BioSQL database and I am using Biojava "BioSQLSequenceDB class" to access it. Sorry I don't really know the schema of the BioSQL
The easiest example is to ignore the database totally.
At the moment, I just want to do the folloing thing:
1. Use HTML form to retireve the height and length of a rectangle that user specified
2. draw the rectangle on the fly
3. make the rectangle a hyper link to an HTML documet, which represents "Hello world" to the user
Could you show me how to do it please?
Thanks very much.

CS4 will not create poly areas in image maps

How do I create an image map which will contain polygonal areas? I've selected my shape and chosen "polygonal" in the Attributes palette and then given it a URL. When I create an image map from the file, all my map areas (in the HTML) are "rect" (rectangles), which is not what I want. Can someone talk me through how to create a polygonal image map area which successfully gets exported into the HTML?
Thanks.

I am not an expert at this but I just created a polygon shape over a rectangle selected the polygon shape and added the url in the image map url field.
then I used the slice to to make the rectangle a slice and then selected the polygon shape and made that a slice and exported as jpeg from the Save for Web and Device as both html and image in the jpeg format.
all seemed to work the rectangle and the polygon are the same color so you can not see the shape but only the polygon shape seems selectable.
I just changed the color and it does only make the polygon shape selectable
here is a little video perhaps this will help.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/Imap.mov
so let me see if I can summerazie what I did.
I made a rectangle then I made a polygon shape over it. I selected the polygon and gave it the image map attribute with the url
and save the file, I then sliced the art first selecting the rectangle and clicking on the rectangle with the slice tool then select the polygon and clicked on that with the slice tool as well and save for the web as jpeg with image and html as the option.
S that is what i did and it seems to work fine.

Image Mapping in PS CS4??

Hey guys,
Alright, I'm trying to learn new things, and I'm converting over to designing parts of my web site with Photoshop CS4. Eventually I would like to be able to design a full template and use that as my web page etc, but right now I'm only doing a navbar. Previously, I used ImageReady to make my image maps (only 1 page right now, so I have the navbar pointing to 5 different parts of my page using the href="#<name" link). However, after doing a lot of searching through Google, I have yet to find one guide on how to make image maps with CS4... I've created the entire navbar, along with layers for onMouseOver for each link. Seeing as how I have no ImageReady with CS4, I'm at a loss. I've tried to create a navbar with DreamWeaver CS4, but it just wanted to do buttons and my one attempt at testing DW's navbar with my rollover images was a huge failure.
So could someone, anyone, please please explain how to make image maps from my navbar.psd file? Thank you!! (A few other tuts said to Save As > HTML which is a flop, because I don't have HTML as an option...)

I was afraid of that. Thank you Zeno.
I finally did get my image maps drawn and everything is working fine now... you are right, it is all through Dreamweaver. I ended up starting my first image map with an online website, and once I got the HTML code for the first map, I was able to copy and adapt it for the other 5 area's to map out. Apparently there is a map drawing tool in DW program that I didn't see.

Is it possible to create a link to a pop-up window from an image map in dreamweaver?

I'm trying to use an image map as my home page. As it is a simple site I want the links on the image map to open in a small 200 x 200 pixel pop-up window.
I seem to only be able to have it open in a new tab.
Thanks for any help!

That site uses Cyber Studio javascript actions. Cyba Studio was discontinued years ago.
If you're code savy enough you can extract the javascipt from the site and the csactions and rebuild to your own requirements. It's not that difficult but you do need to know your way around the code environment in Dreamweaver.
Give us another site link and I'll take a look to see if there is anything more up-to-date code handing these pop_ups.

Create PDF From Web Page Does Not Create Image Maps Properly

I have a website that contains image maps. When I "Create PDF From Web Page", these image maps are not rendered properly. From what I can tell, this is a BUG within Acrobat, and I'm hoping that people can confirm this for me.
I created a test page at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/. I placed the images maps my manually coding the coordinate information, so the maps are PRECISELY placed exactly over the squares. Each image map navigates to an anchor corrisponding to the number on the red square.
When I created the PDF using the "Create PDF From Web Page" feature, the image maps are rendered improperly. This file can be viewed at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest.pdf. To view the outlines of the image maps, please select "Tools" -> "Advanced Editing" -> "Link Tool". You can see the outlines are substantially incorrect.
Please confirm that other can replicate this problem. Any solution to this issue would be very helpful!

I tested this in Acrobat X and the exact same issue occurs
http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest-AcrobatX.pdf
This has to be considered a legatimate bug, especially since IMAGE MAPS is listes as one of the supported HTML features via the help files

Blast from the past: How do I draw image maps in Dreamweaver CC 2014?

Need to update some old stuff, and can´t find where to draw image-maps on images.

First, you need to be in Design View to get the image map tools to appear.
Once there, the image map icons should show when you select an image. If they don't, you may have your Properties panel collapsed. In the bottom right corner of the Properties panel, there's a tiny triangle, click that to expand the panel to include the image map tools.

Image map for Dreamweaver from Photoshop

Hi. How does one convert some of the layers in a Photoshop CS3 graphic to an HTML image map with each layer being a hot spot? This would be very tedious (and not very accurate) doing it manually. Thanks.

> nothing done by hand could have created anything this precise.
But take a look at the definition of the hotspots in the HTML code. It is possible that you have a massive definition that will chew up some considerable bandwidth to transmit. (The point ID and others were making.)
This isn't a problem if all your users are on high speed connections, but if a significant number are on dialup, they might not want to wait for such precision.
