Part or all of this lesson was adapted from the University of Washington’s “Web Design & Development I” Course materials
Objectives
The Student will:Understand how set and use hotspots on
imagesCreate a “rollover image” Be able to create a form with fields that
users can fill in
Image Maps and Hotspots
An image map is an image that has been divided into regions called hotspots; when a user clicks a hotspot, an action occurs (for example, a new file opens).
Defining Hotspots
To define hotpots in an image:
1. Select the image
2. In the Properties panel define a Map Name
3. Using one of the selection tools sweep a region of the image
Defining Hotspots4. Set the Link, Target and Alt fields for the
“hotspot” Note: the Alt text will display when the
mouse hovers over the hotspot on the image
Defining Hotspots
When complete Dreamweaver will generate the HTML required for the hotspots: <map name="Cast" id="Cast"> <area shape="circle" coords="26,114,56"
href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0947338/" target="_blank" alt="Chekov - Anton Yelchin" />
<area shape="circle" coords="117,99,46" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1517976/" target="_blank" alt="Kirk - Chris Pine" />
</map>
