Incorporating Hot Spot in Cell

[Al Krismer]

Hello,

Is it possible in FP 2003 to incorporate a hotspot within a
cell. I am creating a site map with a table and cells and
would like to have the person visiting the page to be able
to click on the cell to link to a particular page. Is this
possible?

Thanks

Al

No. Hotspots can only be applied to images.

It is possible to apply a hotspot to a transparent gif image (or any image
for that matter) that is within a cell.

It is even possible to apply a link to a <td> tag, but I don't think you can
do that in FP without doing it manually, and further, you sacrifice support
for v4+ browsers when you do. But consider this code -

<table border="1" width="100%" id="table1">
<tr>
<td onClick="alert('boo')">&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

Put that in a page and preview it. Click on that first cell....

Got ya by 2 minutes.

And, if you change my code to this -

<td onClick="alert('boo')" style="cursor:hand; cursorointer;">&nbsp;</td>

you'll even get the finger when you mouse over it....

But that is not a Hotspot.

Righty-oh, Bert. It's even better than a hotspot.

But you are correct. I assumed that the poster did not necessarily need the
hotspot, but rather was just seeking a link.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Actually my reply was to Bob's post. You both provided similar solutions and Bob's will work as long
as the user has JavaScript enabled.

I had thought about giving mine the finger, but figgered I'd keep it basic.

[Murray]

Right. Mine is js dependent too.

Put in a transparent image and then create the hotspot on that.
