Setting image map output options (ImageReady)


    You can set the following options in the Image Maps set:

    Image Map Type

    Specifies what type of image map is created:

    • Client-Side to include all required code for the image map in the image's HTML file.
    • NCSA Server-Side to create a separate .map file in addition to the HTML file, using NCSA specifications.
    • CERN Server-Side to create a separate .map file in addition to the HTML file, using CERN specifications.

    Important: Photoshop and ImageReady cannot generate server-side image maps for images that contain slices.

    • Client-Side & NCSA Server-Side to create both a client-side and server-side compatible image map, using NCSA specifications.
    • Client-Side & CERN Server-Side to create both a client-side and server-side compatible image map, using CERN specifications.

    Note: Contact your Internet service provider to find out whether to use NCSA or CERN specification for server-side image maps.

    Image Map Placement

    Specifies the location of the image map declaration (the <MAP> tag) in the HTML file:

    • Top to place the image map declaration at the top of the HTML body section.
    • Body to place the image map declaration above the <IMG SRC> tag for the associated slice.
    • Bottom to place the image map declaration at the bottom of the HTML body section.
