FP and hot spots

Links within hot spots

[snmiller]

I am using a image in which I have placed keywords (to be menu links) with Paint Shop Pro. The way my page is designed (which is probably wrong), I did this to prevent resizing the menu links by the viewer. I have incorporated some CSS but have trouble keeping the links from overlapping into the rest of the page with user resizing. I am somewhat of a novice with CSS and just above that with HTML. My question is: when I use a hot spot to act as a hyperlink, I cannot get the links to respond to a: hover etc. Is this not supported by FP and is there a work around any one may know about? If I use CSS, any link created by normal means in the main body works fine, just not the hot spot links.

no hotspot will not work with hover at all
if you want that sort of thing you will have to start looking towards java or flash applets.

Thank you hittman. You just spoke about two things of which I know absolutely nothing at all about. Oh well, the idea was somewhat imaginative I thought:)

JavaScript can also create effects when the mouse hovers over an image, and this is not at all the same technology as Java. The Java applet issue will not affect JavaScript rollovers.

Javascript rollovers can be very simple even for the novice. Check out this thread:
