Using Map Code & Defined New Window Size

[CAMPPAIN]

How would I go about using my map code with a specific new window pop up? I tried using the one I had on my page but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Camppain,

 

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. What "map code"? From where, what does it do, can you show an example of what it does?

This is what an image map code is

Basically it allows you to make a link around a certain word or image. I have the code on my main page if you want to see.

Alright, I understand what an image map is and what it does. All you said in your first post was "map code" and there are a lot of different kinds of maps, even in web design (site map, geographical map, image map, etc). So, now to your question though,

How would I go about using my map code with a specific new window pop up?

 

I can't read your mind....Are you trying to:

 

1) Create an image map for another image that you want to use on a different page?

 

2) Use the same image and map only have it open in a new window?

 

3) Neither and I'm completely missing it?

You can purchase Image Map Making programs for very little money.

 

Also, if your using dreamweaver its built in.

 

Here is a collection of great programs that are very inexpensive, but yet still very powerful.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

What I was trying to do was use the image map and have it open a specific size window. I gave up on it and just used seperate images and tables.

 

Sorry for the confucious.

Well, for future knowledge, the href of each area can point to javascript functions (which is how you normally pop up a new window of a specifc size).

 

So, re-using some of your code, it would look something like this:

 

><script type="text/javascript">
  function popUp( url, width, height ){
     // code to do pop up here
  }
</script>

<IMG SRC="http://www.camppain.com/pictures/campblackbg900.jpg" USEMAP="#campblackbg900.jpg" WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=675 BORDER=0>
<MAP NAME="campblackbg900.jpg">
  <AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="260,12,351,41" HREF="javascript:popUp('http://www.camppain.com/interview.html', 800, 600);" ALT="interview" OnMouseOver="window.status='read the interview'; return true">
</MAP>

 

Noticed how I change the HREF to use the added javascript function? (I also removed the TARGET attribute because it's unnecessary and could cause problems).

Cool thanks for the help agent orange . I think I tried that but with the actual target code still in that may have been the problem.

No problem. Let us know if it works!
