OK... I have PSP7.1, but have never tried image mapper. The question I have is, how does image mapper know its HTML code your generating, and how does it integrate that code into your exisitng page code? For example, if you have a page with text etc on it, plus your picture, do you load the HTML page into paintshop, then do the image mapper stuff (no idea how PSP is going to handle a HTML page)? Where does the HTML that image mapper generates get stored? Within the picture file? I just wonder if you have to do the image mapper stuff, then integrate THAT into your raw HTML if its a multi format page (ie text and the pic). From your example, which is just the picture, its a pretty simple thing that doesnt actually have to worry about the multi format parts. I just like to limit the number of pages in a web site for administrative purposes, so integration of text and images is basically mandatory for me. I think, to simplify things, you could actually save the entire HTML page, text and picture(s), as a JPG or GIF file (ie save the whole page as a picture) so PSP can pick it up. I might have a play tonight and see what I can figure out :>)
Hi disisme, First off I loaded the jpg photo into PSP, did all the clickable area's as required, adding my URL plus the name of the website and photo. then the program saves the photo as a "whatever.jmd " file, followed by an htm file .. From what I can gather it makes a hyperlink which is stored in the jmd file. Hope this helps. Cheers Paul [ 14. November 2003, 17:52: Message edited by: Paul Templar ]
OK Paul. If you want to link to that page from another page, do you call the jmd file, or the HTML one it creates? (Obviously didnt get a chance to mess with it). I am thinking the html one, and it would actually work the reverse of what you said above....the hyperlink is stored in the html file and the jmd file interprets it. So, let me just clarify it a little more (simpler!). You load the layout jpg, define your area and point it to a page you want the area to link too. Once you've done all the areas, a jmd and an html file are created. the html file contains the picture of the layout, and the jmd file contains the defined areas part?
