Navigation Image Maps

Create an image map to use as a menu for navigation.


An image map requires an image and html code which maps the image using x, y links. Use a nifty (and fast) type of application to create any maps you might need. These write the code based on your drawn-in boxes, circles, and multi-sided areas.

1. Create the image.

2. Open it with image map software and set up the areas.

3. Transfer the code to your html page.
