How would you use image mapping for your frame without using a program? Such as using codes like this: <AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="238,373,274,385" HREF="".html"????

An image map is used on images only.
If you are wondering how to link the areas so they show up on a different frame, then I believe that is done by adding the TARGET property to the tags like a normal link would have done.


<AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="238,373,274,385" HREF=".html" target="framename">

No, I knew all that..it's just I didn't know how do you know what COORDS u use? The four numbers I'm talking about..are you supposed to guess and how? Thanks for asking my question by the way :)

You can count it on paint but that's a pain the zzzz. If you want, you can send me the image and I can send you the COORDs via email or something.

Without using a program, it's pretty much guess work. As long as you are familiar with which coordinates you need for the different shapes, it shouldn't be too bad.

You can use a Paint type program and the cursor spot usually reveals the X and Y coordinates as you move around the image.

Or you can download an actual image mapper program.
