The image map is not a bot
- just a html tag
But your text overlay is, so you need to upload the _hidden folder named _overlay/
| Here is the HTML code FrontPage 2000 has generated for the
| image maps I've created. I also put some dollar figures
| on the image, using the text tool in the picture toolbar.
| ---------------------------------------------------
| <p align="center"><map name="FPMap0">
| <area href="copper2.htm" shape="rect" coords="14, 163,
| 413, 181">
| <area href="copper3.htm" shape="rect" coords="14, 183,
| 417, 201"></map><!--webbot
| bot="ImageMap"
| text=" (15,204) (423, 235) {HB2 - $31.00 HB1 - $46.20}
| {Arial} 12 B #000000 CT 0 "
| text=" (512,677) (582, 703) {} {Arial} 12 B #000000 CT 0 "
| text=" (512,677) (582, 703) {} {Arial} 12 B #000000 CT 0 "
| rectangle=" (14,163) (413,181) copper2.htm"
| rectangle=" (14,183) (417,201) copper3.htm" border="0"
| src="copper1.gif"
| u-originalsrc="copper1.gif" u-
| overlaysrc="_overlay/copper1.htm_txt_copper1.gif"
| usemap="#FPMap0" width="1095" height="1380" --></p>
| --------------------------------------------------------
|
| Now, notice several things:
|
| 1) a "bot" called "ImageMap" is used to handle the Image
| Maps I drew with the picture tool bar in FrontPage 2000.
|
| 2) the text tool caused an "overlay" to be created, with
| the src = _overlay/copper1.htm_txt_copper1.gif
|
| Now, this page works fine when I publish the web to my
| desktop. But the issue is to get this page to work on a
| server that is not FrontPage oriented, as it did not when
| I just uploaded the page.
|
| It seems to me I may be able to get this to work if I
| upload, say, the _overlay directory and its contents.
|
| But I don't know FrontPage 2000 well enough in a non
| FrontPage environment to know if this will work.
|
| I suppose I should just use mspaint.exe to put the text on
| the image, and find some non bot oriented way to do the
| image map(s).
|
| I'm at home in FrontPage 2000, though. Is there a way to
| get the imagemap "bot" to work in a non FrontPage
| environment, or is it necessary to use some other imagemap
| tool?
|
| Any help appreciated.
