Creating Clickable Image Maps in MacroMedia DreamWeaver

It is very easy to create a clickable image map in Dream Weaver, test it, and transport it to your Web site. Consider the following GIF image:



We create a clickable image map like this:
  1. Invoke Dream Weaver
  2. Create a site by clicking Open > Site
  3. Drag the gif image to the DW window
  4. Click on the image and in the inspector window below click on the small blue polygon
  5. Click points in the image to create a blue-shaded area; then click the small black arrow in the inspector window
  6. Fill in the URL in the link box of the inspector window, and select "_self" in the Target box
  7. Test it by clicking File > Preview in Browser
  8. Transport all of the files in your PC site directory to your web server using SSH Secure FTP
