Creating a Tool-based image map
Open ImageReady 7.0.
Now go to Window > Show Image Map. Open image you would like to map.
1.) Select the Image Map tool (you have choices here, rectangle, circle,
etc.).
2.) Drag cursor over area to map on image.
3.) In the Image Map palette, Enter URL to page for Link. You may also
add a Target and Alt tag if needed, see screen capture below.
Repeat Step 2 and 3 until all area's are mapped.
4.) Right-Click on image and go to Preview in > Your Browser. The
browser will launch. Roll the curser over the mapped area's and notice
in the bottom left of the browser how the links change. Notice under the
image also that all the code has been written for you! Just copy and paste
the code in between the "ImageReady" brackets to your page where
you want the image to show. Be sure to upload image as well.
To Save image and code...Simply go to Save Optimized As.. (Be sure to
select "HTML and Image"). This will save the image and create
an html page with the code embedded in the file in which the code can
be extracted from at a later date.
