Embedded Hyperlink?

S

Suzi

Hello All,
I work for a corporation where the engineers would like
technical diagrams such as wiring diagrams, which include
devices along with the wires, available on their
webpages. I have jpgs of these diagrams and have included
one on one of my html pages as a picture. For the
rectangular areas representing particular devices on the
diagrams, the engineers would like rectangular hyperlinks
that link to another page telling about that device, etc.
I got a rectangle to work as a hyperlink on top of the
diagram jpg, but when the diagram picture comes up on
monitors of varying sizes, the rectangle doesn't stay
over the device rectangle in the picture. It isn't
attached to or embedded in the picture, so naturally the
rectangle is staying in exactly the same place on the
page and not "sizing" along with the picture. Is there
anyway to embed a rectangle or button with a hyperlink
into this diagram picture so it will move and size with
the picture?
Thanks!
Suzi

Click to expand...

let me get this clear - you have this diagram on your web page, within
the diagram there are "devices" , these divices you'v made into
hyperlinks,... or rather you'v placed a rectangle of some kind over
the divice, to act as the hyperlink ( you could have sliced up the
image, making the slices so that the devices rest in a slice of their
own - and made the hyperlink there.. however... you click the
hyperlink to open up a new page with a full image of the "device" in
detail, but THAT picture isnt clear and of the right size?

Not sure what you mean by "the rectangle doesn't stay over the device
rectangle in the picture" ??? could be the slicing up of the image
would overcome that. You'v got two problems? one is the hyperlink
rectangle - and two is the page that opens up and the resulting image
isnt right??
Sounds like you should look for an image editor that slices up
pictures, or make better use of FP's hotspot setter - which I'v never
used!! and take a look at the page and image it link opens up -
something "not right" with the image, must be on that page, or the
image itself.

Why don't you just create a hyperlink on the image itself?

Make sure you have sized the image as needed in a image application before
inserting in your page and creating hotspots (a image map).
