Image Map trouble

I understand how to create an image map, but I don't want the
link to open in a new window for the viewer. So far, I haven't been
able to figure out what I need to specify in the data for the image
map so that it merely transfers the user to the necessary page in
the existing window rather than opening a new one. Can anyone give
me information on how to alter the image map so that it only opens
the new page in the existing window of the website?

A default link on image map would not open the link in a new
window unless
you told it to. To know what is happening we would need to
look at your
code. Can you show us?

Image map Explorer trouble

In my table based layout, when I add image mapping to an
image that fits the entire cell, the cell height gets increased
when viewed in Windows Explorer splitting up the design. If I
remove the image map code, the table fits back together correctly.
All Mac browsers I've tried do not do this and display correctly.
Am downloading Firefox for windows to check that.
Would appreciate a fix if anyone can help.
Thanks,
Russ

Move the code for the Map part so that it sits directly above

Image Map in DW6?

I'm trying to create an "Image Map in DreamWeaver 6. My image displays properly when the "Live Window" is selected in the split screen mode, but when "Live" is not selected I get a "broken Link" symbol. So, I cannot use the image property panel to create an Image Map. How can I display my image when "lIve" is deselected so I can designate Mapped areas ? I don't understand why I get a broken link symbol for my image in the split screen mode when "Live" is not selected.

I have to disagree, Murray. DW Design View has a lot of trouble displaying externally hosted images. All I see is a small, generic image icon like this. However, Live View works fine.

Image map in hidden DIV

I've got an image map in a container div, which works fine...
but when I use DW's behaviors to either hide or fade this div, the
image map is still active... even though the container div (and
thus image itself are hidden).
Any thoughts are welcome... not sure how else to get this to
work.

How to play the timeline "onmouseover" in an image map?...(asap pleeease :-)

Hello all,
I'm in a bit of trouble and looking for a fast advice (i have a deadline tommorow...)

When i go with the mouse over a "pie slice" i need to play an animation (i made some transparent rectangles for now and placed each one over a pie slice)
It would have been nice to do that with an image map for more accuracy because even though the images are "pie slices" they are seen as rectangles on mouseover...

Does Photoshop Elements 12 have image mapping capabilities?

I am curious as to whether on not you can image map in pse 12.

Depending on where you bought it you may be able to return it for a full refund within thirty days. Certainly if you got it from Adobe you can return it no reason required (within thirty days).
Not quite sure why you think it is shabby though. Surely you must have realised that there would be differences between a $700 product and a $100 one.

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 not working in Dreamweaver CC

I'm trying to create an image map over a jpeg but when I try to draw a rectangle over the image, a grey stroke gets placed over the image then moves with the cursor.
Here is the only code on the page. Any ideas as to why this isn't working?
<img src="/SampleImage.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="2779" style="margin: 5px; width: 649px; height: 2000px;"/>

Let me see if I have this right...
1. From Design View, you are clicking your image to select it
2. You are then selecting the Rectangle tool from the bottom left of the Properties window
3. You are then clicking and dragging on the image in Design View to create your map area
4. DW puts a grey line around the image and moves it instead of adding the image map and area tags?
Run your page for code errors at http://validator.w3.org. I can't duplicate what you describe and DW will do strange things when code errors are present, it could be an error DW doesn't know how to fix that's causing the normal image map functionality to fail.
If you have clean code and are doing what I list above and it's still not working, it may be time to clear the program cache:Deleting a corrupted cache file

Image Maps not working in Firefox or IE

For some reason my Golive 9 submenu image maps (News, Locations, etc.) work in Safari, but not in Firefox or IE. Plus some elements seem scrambled in the two latter browser apps. Here's the web page: http://www.frankparsons.com/express/index.html
Why is this happening?

>Now I'm wondering if I should bag Layout Grids altogether to make the eventual transition to DW a little easier?
It couldn't hurt. Using your own CSS (or even old-school tables) will generally make any transition less painful than using program-specific features like the layout grid.
>BTW, what is equivalent to components in DW?
I think the equivalents in DW are called Library items. Haven't used them though, as I usually stick with PHP includes to avoid anything proprietary.

Bug Report: DW CS5.5 Crashes Every Time On An Image Map

I am posting this in lieu of contacting Adobe support. I went to my account to send Adobe a bug report and was told I needed to contact support via phone. That's pretty crappy. As a licensed user who's owned it less than three months, there's no direct path to tell you guys that your software is broken?
Here's the deal: I am working on an HTML landing page with one image map attached to one image. Literally, every time I make a modification to the code near the image (tied to the image map) then click into the live preview window, Dreamweaver CS5.5 crashes like a 70-year old on a bar of soap on the floor of the shower. It crashes hard. My only relief is to save the file before clicking into the live preview window. That's my only workaround to the problem.
But I'm left amazed that I can crash it every single time over an image map, flicking from the code to the preview pane. You would think that at version 11.5, a minor thing like that wouldn't hemorrage the supposed creme de la creme of web design software.
Here's the code I'm editing that causes it to crash:

How to use the same image map over and over

Sorry, I posted this a couple of years ago and got a good answer by Murray. I'm so rusty with it, I can understand how it works anymore.
Question:
I have a large jpeg image map for a hundred pages. The jpegs are all the same except I changed the city name for each one.
So for each corresponding htm page, the 4-5 links out are the same.
Waht is the trick to not have to create by hand hotspots? thanks.
I have previous notes, but I don't understand anymore, (too rusty) what they mean:
The good news is that you really don't need a template at all.
Just open one of your existing pages in DW, select that central image, browse to select the correct replacement image, and save the page with a new name. It will have all of the image maps already there, from the original image. One and done as they say."
My old interpretation of this:
select the large jpeg and then in link field drag over to the new city jpeg

Ok, Nancy, code copy/ paste did work fine.
what does this mean:
"Change the image in the properties panel to display your new image."
(the image is displaying ok)
NEverthesless, I think I got Murrays old notes.
Here is my new version of Murrays writing, easiest way I think:
You open up a pre-existing html, say Chicago. Then drag over with pointer to the new jpeg you want (Buffalo). It replaces Chicago with the buffalo jpeg, all links work perfectly. Then do a save as called Buffalo.

Image maps error with IE 6

Hallo!
I have a problem with Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP) and only 2 image maps with rollovers on a page with a total of 6 image maps.
This is the page:
http://www.eqmultimedia.it/paolobisi/home_2009f.html
Everything is OK on Mac OS X (Safari and Firefox) and IE 7 on Windows XP and Vista.
ONLY the 2 image maps named "ART FOR SALE" and "CONTACT" do not work with IE 6.
This is my workflow:
- Page design in Photoshop.
- Slices, image maps, rollovers and remote rollovers with ImageReady
- Save html page and images folder from ImageReady
- Import html page and images folder in Golive CS
- Check and correct ALL the links in the image-map code generated with ImageReady
- Export site from Golive (with Flatten Script Library) and FTP transfer on Unix server.
I suspect that the image-map code is not FULLY loaded by IE6 and for this reason only 2 image maps on the page do not works.
Any suggestion will be very appreciated.
Thank you and sorry for my English!

Does anyone know how to save / preserve image maps when updating graphics?

Hello all,
I'm currently working on a RH7 HTML project, which I've designed to be used in support of a software application.
Some of the application's dialogue boxes have quite complex multi-tabbed GUIs, so when it comes to describing their functionality, you often end up with a long list below the graphic image. What this means of course, is that the user is forever scrolling up and down to make reference between the GUI and the explanatory text.
I hit upon an idea I'd used previously, whereby I created popups to multiple image map hotspots. It works like a dream and the client and users really like the concept - but there's a snag (apparently).
Because the application is still in development. some of those GUIs are (and will continue to) change. No problem with that either - until I try and insert the updated graphic. Poof !! All my hotspots disappear . . .
Surely I'm not alone in trying this approach and there must be some way of preserving the hotspots?
Any suggestions?
Bob (in a UK time zone)

Hi there
It sounds like you are using the standard methods of inserting an image. Don't do that!
All you need to do in these cases is to use Windows Explorer to save the updated image using the same file name and replacing the former image. When you do this your other data will remain intact. If the new image is a different size, just right-click it inside the RoboHelp HTML editor and choose Reset Size. You also may need to tweak your hotspots if things shifted some.
Cheers... Rick
