OMG...this whole image mapping gots me going BANANAS!!! I made my layout in psp8 umm I wish there was a way I could show it to you...but uh I did the image mapping to the links to open in my iframe and everything else. Now I'm having trouble coding it!!!

Ok...here's what I mean I need to code my layout but I also need to code the links the way they are mapped. ...umm ex: I put URL: Aventura.html All Text: Aventura and Target: Iframe Now in the tutorial I was lookiing at it said to save everything all of them as map.html...but when I click "save as" i put ex: aventura and it will only save as .html files.

So my problem is 1)coding it and 2) my links...this is my biggest problem (lol) making the image map code thingy!!!

I really hope some1 can help me out and I hope I didn't confuse anyone (lol)

I don't really understand what you're trying to say, but when I save an image map in psp, I save it as an html file and then copy the coding for the map and paste it into my main.html. Another thing; your target is iframe. Is that the frames name? Because you have to name the frame and target that. Ex. the name is content so you would go target:content.

You can use cutemap or something like that, it will give you the coordinates

In psp8, go to export...image mapper. Then save and take the code that you need from the html document (the image tag and the map code).

well, in the image mapper in PSP, you can do more than one link for an html document. Just do what you did for the first link for all the links you need and THEN save. You should get all the code that you need that way.
