hotspots and "Picture Properties" in FP2003

[Petey Forrest]

Hello gang,

This is my first post. I'm glad I found this newsgroup and I've already
found answers to many of my outstanding questions with FP. It's great and
I'm an FP fan! I'm using FP2003 and I often get frustrated by trying to get
at the "Pictures Properties" in the design mode when an image is completely
covered by a hotspot link I've created. I have to click on a miniscule
slice at the edge. Is there anyway around this I'm missing?

Thanks!

Petey Forrest

Don't make the hotspot so big?
How come you're making such big hotspots anyhoo?

Unless you have a need to have multiple links from the image, do not make it a imagemap/hotspot,
just select the image, right click and select hyperlink properties.

Actually, I have been leaving room on the edges for my FP work for awhile
now.

I just naturally want to cover the whole image since that's how visitors
will take it. I recently realized it affect my dev. mode work.

Hi Thomas...

Thanks for the info.

So does that mean I will have to turn off the border around the image then?

Do tooltips show (or ALT TEXT) show up then?

thanks!

You can still keep the border around the image, if wanted, by using image properties, appearance tab
and setting border to 1, it will in the same color as your hyperlink color set for the page.

Alt Text, when a image is present only shows in IE, add a title tag to your image to cover all
browsers.

Then just make the whole image your link, don't use a hotspot.
Right click on the image...make a hyperlink.
