Adding a Map link over an image with a Z Index setting

I have to add a map invisible link to a spot over an image on a page. If I look in the css file it is as follows
#n141
    z-index: 143;
    position: relative;
    width: 253px;
    margin-right: -253px;
The map must go over the image that covers this area. When I add the map I do not see the link. I would think this has to do with the Z Index how can I get the map to be on the top level without changing the Z Index or can I ?
anyone

Murray you are the man!

the image on the bottom right of the Clarence major needs to have a hotspot on top of that so when clicked it links back to the index. I will not need it on this page but if you click thru the links you will see what I mean.
thz for looking at this for me.

Links over an Image

Good Morning!
I'm fairly new to Dreamweaver and I'm trying to cut through the fog and get a project completed.
I am working on an email blast for my company and I need several links over top of the image that I designed in Illustrator and Photoshop. (I've attached graphic)
I need the links in the purple squares.
I know how to use Image Maps and at first I used them and everything worked perfectly!
But since this is an email blast I was informed by our email marketing company that several email providers do not support Image Maps.
Is there a work around?
Thanks so much!

Adding a bookmark link to an image

I have a project in IBA that is made of images llike a coffee table book. All the text is embedded in the artwork as the image covers the entire page.
I need to have hyperlinks ( that I have created which sit over the image on certain pages) to link to another page in the document. I cannot link to text because there is none.
I would think I can also create a text box and make it invisible?
Any help in doing this right?
R

can I just take a box of text, make it invisible or arrange it to the back of the page, then link to that?
Yes, that's what I just tried to explain - let me repeat to be clear.
try making a link pair, then moving the trigger behind an image using iBA's 'Arrange' menu
Be sure to make the text box similar in size so the target is similar.

Adding Apple Maps links

I'm doing an iBook and want to link addresses in the text to open in Apple Maps on the iPad. How do I find, then copy the Apple Maps link to paste into the Navigator?

Can you work around it by using the 'Share' button?
Drop a pin (right click on the Map)
Click the pin
Click the icon
Click the 'Share' button it the top right corner of the popup.
Select Email
In Mail the link will appear in the text labeled 'Map'
Copy that to iBooks.
If it fails to work, convert the message to 'plain text' (in the Format menu). It will then show the full link URL.
This is very 'clunky' so I'd suggest you send feedback asking for a better way to get the link directly fromn the share button.

Insert link over an image in XML

Hello,
I recently bought this template: http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/27466.html but I have a big problem. I want to add a hyperlink over the big images which appears when you click on bedrooms for example. There are 9 small images in the right side and 1 big image on the left. I changed all the images but I want also to add hyperlinks on some big images. The action script import an xml file like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root>
        <pageGallery nameGallery="GALLERY 1" name="gallery1" folder="gallery" line="3" maxImages="9">
                <titleImages>
                    <smallImages>_gallery_small_images_1.jpg</smallImages>

Image map + link in background image

Is it possible to put an image map and link to a background
image of a table?

no but you can put a 1px by 1 x blank transparent image over
the background image and add an image map to that

Adding a "print" link to a document with iweb?

I want to put my resume on my web site and add a "print" button on the page that will only print my resume and not the whole page, but I can't figure out how to do it (if that's even possible on iweb)
Can anyone tell me how to do it?
Thanks!

I see this at the top:
"This question is not answered. "Helpful" answers available: 2 . "Solved" answers available: 1 .
It seems there is a "solved" answer, but gives me no link to go to it. I "searched several different options but could only find one thing even close and that was to embed the facebook page in an iweb page... not what I want.
Is there anyone that can point me in the correct direction to go to the link that gives me the "solved" answer?
Thanks.

Unable to map WebDAV over SSL

Hello,
I have following issue: I have a WebDAV Windows Server 2012 with IIS and SSL signed by StartCom (so it is trusted by default). On Windows 8, I have no problem to map WebDAV over HTTP, however with HTTPS, I am unable to map it. I keep getting prompted for
credentials all the time. I have tested this both on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 RTM.
Now the issue is that when I tried it on Windows 7, it mapped on both HTTP and HTTPS. I really have no idea what I am doing wrong, but I believe this could be client related rather than related to Windows Server and the WebDAV setup.
Thank you.
Edit: When running net use * https://files.domain.com in cmd under Windows 8, I get directly error 1790, on Windows 7, I am prompted for username and password.
Edit 2: When running net use * "\\files.domain.com@SSL\" /User:username password, on Windows 8, I get directly 1244 error.
Edit 3: As such as it seems, this issue seems to be related to:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/1a3c29ab-d038-4132-af99-b85bce51b5c2/sslv2-being-used-with-webdav, since the symptoms seem to be the same, however there is no solution provided on that thread.
Edit 4: After running Microsoft Network Monitor, I can confidently say that the issue is indeed with the SSLv2 being used for WebDAV communications. See attached image.
Full size picture...
Edit 5: I just used Network Monitor on Windows 7, where the drive maps correctly over SSL, see the difference in a picture below.
Full size picture...

Thank you for your suggestion.
However that tutorial doesn't exactly apply on my situation, this issue seems to be Windows 8/8.1 related, since everything works correctly under Windows 7. I added screenshots from Microsoft Network Monitor, both Windows 8 and Windows 7 while mapping
the same WebDAV drive. Windows 7 is successful, however Windows 8 seems to fail during the SSL handshake.

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.

Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?

Multiple images with same filename

I have a very large library of images on DVD and I want to make a database of the entire library in Lightroom. I do not rename my images from my camera so it's not uncommon for me to have multiple images on different discs with the same filename. I'm finding when I try to import these images into lightroom they write over the existing images that share the filename. Is there a way to work around this? I assumed the different EXIF data would be enough for the program to realize that it was dealing with two different images, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
In a possibly related issue, I've found some images that have the wrong filename in lightroom (different from the filename on the original disc). What's up with that?
I've been working for weeks trying to create this database. It's huge already and I've barely scratched the surface of my entire collection. Currently I'm over 22,000 images and I suspect I'll be over 300,000 when all is said and done. I need to resolve this or all those hours of work will have been for naught. Help!
Thanks,
Steven

Info pane that loads when you hover over an image

I think by mistake I have enabled an info pane that opens when you hover over an image with the cursor. I don't know how I have done this but it is driving me mad. Can anyone help with turning this feature off?

Centering Images using CSS but having links on the Images

Hi all,
I have a problem on centering an image using CSS. I read on many forums that you have to use margin-left , margin-right and set to auto. and also set the display:block which I had done.
The problem is if I want to have a link from the image. Because I have set the display to block, the link will span the entire container containing it! How do I resolve that? I only want the image to be linkable and not the entire container!
Thanks for reading!

That's incorrect. If the display:block is applied to only the IMAGE, the anchor tag will be exactly the same dimensions as the image and will not fill the container.
Hi Murray,
Weirdly it does in my experiments. (code below). Even if I set the 'a' tag to the width of the image it still makes the whole <div> container clickable:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Images with variables help

Ok so i want to use php to have a variable called banner and
make an image with the src being set equal to banner. I can get an
empty image with an x through it to display. When i right click it
and go to properties i find that the src isn't set to the variable
i declared.
Here's how i tried to do it:

You need to escape the image source = variable i have some
pics that i did the same thing like this:
<img src='pics/" . $picloc['name'] . "' width='$diswidth'
height='$disheight' alt='" . stripslashes($picloc['description']) .
"... Date: " . date("D F jS, Y", strtotime($picloc['upload_date']))
. "'>
yours would be like this:
echo "<img src='" . $banner . "' width='$bannerw'
height='$bannerh' alt='$sitename'>";
you might have to do the same to the alt text mine i did
because its from a RS, but just do the '" . $sitename . "' if you
need to.

Help with positioning text links over image

I'm creating a five page site with a different background
color for each horizontal nav bar. I created a solid color graphic
(780 x 30) and inserted it into my div. I now want to place my text
links over the graphic but I can't seem to do it. It keeps
appearing underneath. Someone recommended using a table and I'm
wondering if this would be easier.
Thanks!

You have to use the image as a background image in your
'navcontainer' <div>
#navcontainer {
background-image: url(images/nav_services.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
If you actually insert the image into the page, as you have
done, it
WILL push the text links down because its ABOVE them on the
page.

Events listening to Image with map not triggered after DOM manipulation

Hi again,
I am rephrasing the issue that I had posted earlier today and assume that reproducing the issue wasn't clearly mentioned.
ISSUE:
After the DOM is updated with new image and corresponding image map, events assigned to the div containing the img and map, do not respond or get triggered.
*TO REPRODUCE:*
Click on the link below. There appears an image that has image map. Mouse over any of the two boxes and notice that corresponding area ID appears in the red colored box placed below the image.
(Until here all browsers behave the same. So far so good ...).
Now click on one of the two boxes (image) and then a new page is loaded that has a new image and corresponding image map to it.
Now the new image has 4 pink colored boxes. Mouse over any of the boxes and the red colored box should now display the area id corresponding to the box.
Red colored box below the image is updated with the area id of the box and you mouse over any of the 4 boxes in all the browser EXCEPT IN SAFARI.
Further, (in all browsers except safari) click on the image and a again a new page is loaded and mouse over and click event are trigerred.
As long as we mouse over the image, red box gets updated with the area id corresponding to that of the box from the image.
Also as long as we click a new page is loaded with new image (there are 3 images that are in loop).
*LINK TO SAMPLE:*
I recommend you to try this either in Firefox or IE before you do on Safari (to see the normal, expected behaviour first).

All inputs on this issue are welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Shashi.

Thanks for advice Reverse_parn. And I did report the bug to Apple, like you said.
And, finally did you notice the wrong behaviour in Safari ?
Regards,
Shashi
