Client-side Image Map Test
Client-Side Imagemap
Thanks to Web Developer Magazine (Spring 1996, pp.29-31) for telling me about this
concept. Here's a sample image map where all the information is contained (in
HTML) in this page, so all you'd need to do to recreate this would be to view and
copy source, and copy the graphic. Oh, I guess you'd need the test1.html,
test2.html, test3.html and test4.html files, or you could create your own. There
are no hidden CGI scripts. This means it runs faster, is easier to maintain, and
the links show up while you're moving the mouse around on the picture. The
disadvantage is that it requires Netscape 2.0 or that Microsoft thing to run, but
that's probably what you're using anyway.
I used
GraphicConverter v2.3 to create the image. It has a nice feature that shows
you the x,y coordinates while you move the mouse. I probably could have just created
it with Adobe PageMill, but this seemed a bit faster since I was just doing simple
rectangles.
Go back.
