Hi

I am running Frontpage 2000 under Windows 2000.

I have a graphic which is a thumbnail which when selected
opens up a full size view of the graphic on another page.

I would like to add a hotspot to this graphic.

Do I have to do this before the graphic is made into a
thumbnail or is there a way of doing this after the
graphic has been made into a thumbnail

Thanks

John

Hi
Howdy.

I am running Frontpage 2000 under Windows 2000.

I have a graphic which is a thumbnail which when
selected opens up a full size view of the graphic on
another page.

I would like to add a hotspot to this graphic.

Do I have to do this before the graphic is made into a
thumbnail
No.

or is there a way of doing this after the graphic has
been made into a thumbnail?

Yes. Here's the procedure:

1. Add the full-sized picture to your Web.
2. Add the fill-sized picture to your page.
3. Right-click the full-sized picture, then choose
Auto Thumbnail from the shortcut menu.
4. Make sure the Pictures toolbar is visible.
5. On the Pictures toolbar, click the hotspot shape you
want: Rectangular, Circular, or Polygonal. (These are
at the right end of the toolbar.)
6. Drag the mouse across the thumbnail, marking the area
you want.
7. When the Insert Hyperlink dialog box appears, specify
the URL you want the hotspot to display.

Thanks you for your prompt response to my problem.

I put the hotspot on the thumbnail and added the necessary
link. Then I saved it. Now when I click on the thumbnail
nothing happens. That is to say the graphic no longer
becomes its original size. ????

Look in your HTML for a block of code that looks like this:

<map name="FPMap0">
<area href="/" shape="circle" coords="37, 102, 28">
</map>

(The shape and coords settings will probably be different.) Then, add
the third fourth, and fifth lines shown below.

<map name="FPMap0">
<area href="/" shape="circle" coords="37, 102, 28">
<area href="images/LasVegas.jpg" shape="default">
<area href="images/LasVegas.jpg"
coords="0, 0, 10000, 10000" shape="rect">
</map>

You'll also have to replace images/LasVegas.jpg with the relative path
and filename of your full-sized picture.

you don't need to add a link, when you do the thumbnail FP automatically links to
the original size image.
