Overview

What is an Image Map?

An image map is simply an image that acts as a link, but instead of simply acting as a link to a single page, the image acts as a link to multiple pages. For instance, say you have a map of the United States that you wish to act as an image map. Then you could specify different areas of the map to take you to different pages.

Viewers will not need a special plug-in to use your image map. Anyone capable of viewing images and running javascript on their browser will be able to view and use your image map. Only very old browsers not capable of running javascripts may have problems, but as these browsers are all but non-existent today, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

CyD Image Mapper

CyD Image Map allows you to create image maps for your Web site. CyD Image Map includes WYSIWYG editing. You can add an unlimited number of map elements, including rectangular, circular, and polygonal region types. CyD Image Mapper supports all Web graphic standards, mouseover and ALT text features.

Creating image maps can be tricky. You have to specify coordinates for the areas of your map, and it is not always clear just by looking at the image what these coordinates will be. It can get especially confusing when trying to make irregular shapes.
