[Tim D. Hansen]

Hi
I want an area in an Image Map to point to a file depending om the URL in the browser.

one example

I´m using my imagemap on the page http://www.something.com/1/ here i want the area to point to:

http://www.something.com/1/document.pd

on the page http://www.something.com/2/ i´m using the same image map, but this time i want the same area to point to

http://www.something.com/2/document.pd

Notice that the filenames are the same

Is this possible - and could you give me som directions pleas

Thanks Tim

This could be done, but it will required the use of a server-side scripting language such as ASP,
ASP.net, PHP, CFM, etc, and maybe a database. This all depends on what is supported by your web host
and your knowledge and ability to code in the language that is support.

It seems to me you could just use relative links in the image map to do
that.

Maybe I mis-read this. It seem like the issue could easily be resolve by storing the PDF in a single
folder and then using a absolute URL to the PDF, such as:

http://www.yourdomain.com/documents/document.pdf

That way it will not matter if the user is in folder 1 or folder 2.

Ok, I think you would need to post to the sharepoint newsgroup for help with a solution for this.

Hi Thomas

Thanks for your comments. The problem is that i have to point one single link in an image map to

different documentfolders (relative to the page where i use the imagemap). The case is that i work
with Sharepoint Server 2. Here you generate several projectrooms with identical structure/documents
etc. In each of these Projectrooms i want to use the same imagemap to point to the different
documents in the projectroom. So when you are in room 1. the area in the image map point to:

Hi everybody (Thomas, Sparky and wp

Thanks for helping. With your hints i found out that it is relative easy to make the solution i want. By using simple relative links in an html-file i get what i want. It's om the form: href="../documents/file.pdf". I didn´t think it was that easy since i work i Sharepoint server but the html works fine..

Thanks Tim
