The Transition into one code!


URLs

This guide does not cover URLs in much depth, but you can simply replace the URLs provided in the sample code found in the post above with whatever links you plan to use for your image. For the example, please pick any five different URLs to fill in the blanks.

Keep in mind that anyone using links to inappropriate/illegal sites will be banned. No questions asked.

What is "default" for?

Default is the remaining area on your image that isn't assigned to any particular shape. In the example image, that would be the white area outside of the four shapes. You can link this area to anywhere you want, such as your profile, as it will basically serve as a 'default' page.

Saving your code

Saving the code is the most stressful part because you always think you made a mistake. Once you've completed your code, save your Notepad file with the name imap.map. Afterwards you will upload this to your site, which in this instance is Geocities.

If you accidentally left the .txt extension at the end of the file, be sure to rename it once it's uploaded. Go to your file manager and rename by taking the .txt part out. You must use the name imap.map for this to work. If you have multiple scripts, you will need to make a subdirectory in order to name it properly.

Putting it all together

Once you've uploaded your imap.map file and your image file, it's time to put them together using the following code.

HTML Code:
[url=IMAP.MAP file link][IMGmap]path to image used[/IMGmap][/url]


::Leading to the end result of your Image Map::
