Multi clickable image
Permalink
Hi all,
Just been discussing with a client that I make a website for some requirement he has for something later on with his sites development.
basically, he wants to have a large image on the site and have that image many different "Hot Spots" that are clickable and will link to different pages within his own website.
Is there an addon that allows you to do anything like this? or am I best off making a Flash version (which of course as we all know is kinda out of date now with html 5)
Any ideas ofthoguhts on this?
Thanks,
Gary

You have different options.
1- HTML has the <map> tag that does just that. It's not used much anymore but still an option. You can even find image map generators online for easy handling.
2- you could use a jquery plugin such as ImageMapster or maphilight. What they do is basically just take the html <map> tag and give it nice options to make it look better. If javascript is not available I suppose it would just revert to normal html image map but I didn't check.
3- You could cut the picture in pieces in photoshop, put the pieces together with simple div and css. Not very maintainable.
Good luck
