Fixed Images and Image Maps

Not referring to background images

[lync]

Hi!

I am working on my personal website and am trying to get an image map on a fixed background image. I have tried using a transparent gif and putting the map on that over the background but the only problem is that gif scrolls with the page and the links then get a little messed up. Is there anyway I can fix an image on the page so it doesn't scroll and still do an image map?

Thanks!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, lync!

There is no way of applying an image map to a background image, but you could put your image map on a <div> and scripting it so that the layer is fixed.

While there is a CSS property fixed, you need some scripting (JavaScript mainly) to achieve this effect cross browsers.

Thanks very much! I have tried using CSS and <div> and have had limited luck but I'll fiddle around with it again. :)

Dynamic drive have a static menu script that you could use. Use the code for making the <div> fixed and put whatever you need inside it.

Any other problems - just ask!
