Linked Image Mapping

Our server failed and we will need to re-link all of our thousands of files to a new server... Is there a way to auto point InDesign to the new server (the server will be a mirrored backup of the old failed one) From X:\\Sellwood\mac\ to X:\\mac\? Please say there is... we have thousands of images etc.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

No Indesign can't do this... as it comes out of the box!
I used to think that this was impossible but there are a few scripts that have been developed, mostly in this area by Kasyan Servetsky, have a look at these threads here and here. A search of these forums will yield more threads too.

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.

Can you create an image map that will link to a different element on the same page?

I have used image maps before and know how to create an image map to link to a new page. In this case, however, I want to be able to click on my image using an image map and load a new image with text on the same page as the image map. Is this even possible? Is there some sort of behavior that allows you to create same-page links, perhaps using AP divs? I want the end result to be a type of gallery that loads different images depending on where you click on the main image.
Again, I don't even know if this is possible. Any suggestions on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Go to this site and mouse over the image map of South America.

Is that what you are looking for?
Insofar as linking to a position on the same page, do a Help search (F1) in DW for "named anchors."

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.

Image map + link in background image

Image Maps Linked to Files in External Projects

Hi,
I'm trying to insert an image map into project A that links
to a topic in project B. Both projects are merged into the same
parent project. I want the linked topic to appear in a popup
window. I can make this work if the topic to which I'm linking is
within the same project...just not when it's in another project.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Amy

Hi Amy and welcome to the RH community.
That is the way that image maps work. If you are using an
image map, the linked topic must reside inside the same project.
You could link to an external file by clicking the down arrow to
the left of the "Link To" field and selecting file, but this does
not allow you to display in a popup. Also if you are using CHM
files, the selected file would have to be the CHM which would open
with the default topic. If you were using Webhelp you could select
the individual HTM file.

Image Map Linked to Text w/in Same Topic (RoboHelp 10)

I would like to create an image map using certain text that resides in the same topic as the image. I do not want the user to see the text when viewing online; I only want them to see the pop-up when they click on the mapped image. I do, however, want the text to print if the user chooses to do so. I've been playing around with bookmarks and conditional flags but can't seem to get it to function properly. Can what I'm trying to do be done?

I doubt this is achievable, certainly not within the Rh interface. You could link the image to a popup but it would have the content of another topic set up for the purpose. As such it would not be included when you print the topic with the image.

Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?

Have you added the target files as baggage?

AS3 Image Map Linking Issue - No compiler errors

Hello,
I've made an image map in Flash using AS3, however it does not seem to be working properly.
The links only work in a strange succession. In order to click all the links you must first click the last link followed by the first link, then the second link. After that the image map behaves as it is supposed to. I'm not sure why this is happening.
It complies without error and aside from the little quirk mentioned above, it works beautifully.
I've checked and double checked the AS, even copied and pasted some code from one button to another to see if it would make a difference, but to no avail.
I am using the code listed below:
[quote]
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink1);
function callLink1 (event: MouseEvent) :void {
     var url:String = ("http://www.google.com");
     var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url);
     try
         navigateToURL (request, "_parent");
         catch (e:Error) {
             trace ("Error occurred!");
[/quote]
Any and all help would be much appreciated, thank you!

I'd second Dan's last point, there is really not enough information here to help identify the actual problem.
What I would suggest is that you put everything into one event handler so perhaps that might simplify working on it..something like:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
function callLink(event: MouseEvent):void {
    var url:String;
    switch (event.target) {
        case button1 :
            url="http://www.google.com";
            break;
        case button2 :
            url="http://www.yahoo.com";
            break;
        case button3 :
            url="http://forums.adobe.com/thread/417263?tstart=0";
            break;
        default :
            url="http://www.adobe.com";
            break;
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url);
    try {
        navigateToURL(request, "_parent");
    } catch (e:Error) {
        trace("Error occurred!");
If you have everything set up in one listener function like that it may be easier to debug and maintain.

Image Maps & Photo Links

I'm new to Dreamweaver... first site design with css. I love it. Doing okay but have run into two obstacles I'm just not adept enough to over come.
Site Name: twangtowntv.com
#1) I think I have screwed up my main page template. Not sure how to fix that so that I can have repeating elements throughout the site update simultaneously once again. Is there any way to rebuild that page and then reapply the page attributes to my existing site pages?
#2) I've used image maps and have linked photos to websites many times. But, for the the life of me, I can't make it happen with the images in my right sidebar. Nothing seems to work. I image map them, link them... but nothing... no hyperlinking action! Right now I have added to each page as part of a Library item. Thought that might open the flood gate. Still... nothing. ANY IDEAS of what I might try will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks... Tim

Have you fixed this, because when I hover over any of the picture links on the right, they point to a new page or go to a different link.
if you are using a template, not sure why you would need to use a library item in the left sidebar, if the links are all going to be the same on every child page??
You can repair the master template page, and have the changes reflect on the child pages, but you'd need to make sure that all the editable regions were the same, otherwise, the child pages won't know where to create any of the new regions and could end up with a mess.

Ho do you remove Border on Image Map Links in Safari

Hi,
I am having a problem with Safari 5.1 with an image map. I designed an Image Map for my Website in Fireworks with three hotspots.
When you click on the hotspot in Safari to link to the page a border appears around the hotspot. It doesn't happen in any other browser.
Anyone have an idea how to get around this?
Web address is: http://79.170.44.76/agrisearch-site.org/

Well I found out! Here yer go! Paste the code in bold in the same area as the example and any Dreamweaver CS5.5 Hot Spots you create, this will get rid of the Blue Border when the links are clicked on in Safari. You would think either Apple or Adobe would sort this? Make life alot easier?

Can I use an Image Map to link to an SLP

I am working on a project starting with the Desktop Catalog with Homepage layout, and have created 4 additional generic SLPs. I added an image to the homepage slp and would like to use an image map to link to the 4 generic slps that I created. But I get an error when running the site and clicking on any of the image map links. Clicking on the link opens a new window with a "This program cannot display the webpage". At times I have gotten a script error when clicking the link rather than the This program... message, but I cant seem to replicate that at the moment.
I am able to do a simple hyperlink on the image to an slp, but this, of course, only gives me the ability to link to one of my additional pages....
Any ideas?
John

I did finally figure this out... it is possible to map to an slp file from an image map... the trick has to do with how slp files work in RH,and makes sense, sort of, once I got it to work. When you generate html5, htm files are generated fromthe slps.
When you link to an slp file in a regular hyperlink, during the generation of the site, RH translates the slp refernce to the htm file reference that is generated from the slp. But for some reason, i.e., a bug IMHO, with an image map, when you link to an slp file, RH does not convert this slp reference to the .htm reference (as it does with normal, non-image map hyperlinks.
So the way to get this to work, is when you create the image map link, put in the htm file name that will be created during generation.

Image map links not working in all browsers

Hi, I develop HTML marketing emails once a week and my boss
has recently informed me that some, not all, of the image mapping
links do not work in all browsers or emails i.e. MacMail, Opera,
Safari, etc. He's positive there's something in Dreamweaver that
makes the links universally accommodated no matter what email/web
browser you use, but I haven't been able to find a solution as of
yet.
Any help on this would be appreciated, thanks!
:music;

Let's start with the least critical issue. Your boss and his
boss are
simply wrong. An HTML link is just an HTML link, whether
created in DW or
in Notepad.
Now, on to the meat. When you upload this page to the web, do
the links
work? And when you say that they don't work, what do you
mean? Do you mean
that when you click on them, you are not taken to the linked
page? Which
links are not working?
Finally, why do you have your mapped image also within an
anchor tag?
<a href="
http://www.beyondthewall.com/xcart/giftcert.php"><img
src="Slice.jpg" width="263" height="58" border="0"
usemap="#Map" /></a>
Is that the one where the link doesn't work?
Can you post a link to this page on the web, please?

Hi,
This issue seems related to S/MIME control and IE.
Please perofrm latest updates for IE and S/MIME. More details as below:
1. OWA -> Options -> Settings -> S/MIME
2. If any security warnings appear, click Yes for the control to download and install.
Also try to add OWA web site into Compatibility View in IE.
