Hey!

I've always wanted to know how to put links into your image? (e.g. like linking the text to a webpage)
Please if anyone can help me I will really appreciate it!

Well I haven't made anything yet, but in the past I was trying to figure it out for a myspace page.
What would I need to do if I did have the banner?

An image map is where, in JavaScript or HTML, you choose rectangular areas on an image and specify what clicking on that area does.

the warning is i cant help you upload it but when you have made your image open up image map and get the rectangle tool, draw round the link and a window should pop up, put the url in and hit ok, do this for each text box, then goto view | code or something. this is my memory so it might be wrong, if you need more help i will check

ooh thats a hard one. the way i know how to do it involves html coding.
<AREA
HREF="website goes here.html" ALT="website" TITLE="what is it"
SHAPE=RECT COORDS="251,143,47,19">

that would be an example of it but how you put it on myspace i dont know because i dont use myspace

Oh right. Well Myspace is just HTML so I presume you could use that way...

Thanks

EDIT: If possible could you link me to some image mapping tutorials? (good ones)
