image maps not working

Post by Nina Esile »

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

I have no problem creating an image map. Problem is that when it's compiled, the rollover areas on the image do not end up where I created them. They are all shifted down. My intuition tells me it may be that the image I am editing when I'm creating the image map is the full-size image and then when I compile the help, a style changes the size of the image, but not the image map. Does this make sense to anyone?

Thanks!

Try building the project without resizing the image...

Hotspots are a mapped shape, back before the new fangled tools we used to have to specify the location of corners on the hotspot to create the map. My guess is your map still corresponds to the old image, not the resized image. Either that or (if the hotspot mapping is modified) the remapping process doesn't work properly.

Good Morning SteveS,

Indeed that is the problem. I have to resize my images before setting an image map. I've got my work cut out for me because the software I write about takes up a lot of screen space.

Thanks so much!
