am making a new layout for my site with photoshop and slicing it with image ready. i need a area in the middle to display different sites.

got a few questions:

1. Is an image map the same as an iframe?
2. Can an image map display a website?
3. If it can display a website then how do i make it so that when u click a link on a nav bar that the site will show up where i put a image map?
4. do i ceate a image for the image map to display or can it display a html file?

thanx

An imagemap is a single image (either JPG or GIF) where different areas are links to different URL’s. The links thenmselves are no different to any other link on a webpage. Imagemaps have nothing to do with IFrames.

Kevin,

It sounds like what you want is frames.

An image map is more like an HREF with coordinates.

Instead of making an entire image a link…
<A HREF="link.htm"><IMG SRC="image.jpg" BORDER="0"></A>

You can add links to portions of the image…

<MAP NAME="MAP">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="0,0,50,50" HREF="link.htm"> <AREA SHAPE="circle" COORDS="100,100,25" HREF="link2.htm"> </MAP>

<IMG BORDER="0" SRC="image.jpg" USEMAP="#MAP">

Kevin,

"is there a way to do iframes in image ready?"

No, Image ready is designed to create web graphics and the HTML needed to display them.

That being said the example you posted was made with Image Ready. The entire page is just one large sliced image. They just needed to replace two image tags <http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/myfirstsite/basicimages.html> with iframes <http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/frames/inlineframes.html>. You will then need to targeted your links to the iframe that you would like them displayed in.
