I placed the Insert> HTML into a table. The table is 586 pixels wide as seen below:
(my placeholder is the old webgem image instead of the really big thing provided by CSB. You can change yours if you want to. See this page)
In this sample, the map images are TRANSPARENT so you can choose any background color of the table, but light colors look best. I choose cream color #246 on the CSB color chart for this example. This feature allows more flexiblity in the designing process. You may not be able to do this with your map design.
Background color choices in table:
|
transparent
|
white/cream
|
This is one slice of the image in plain

Copy the code genrated by your mapping software and place into NOTEPAD or an HTML editor.
Modify the code, placing ^GEMDIR/ in front of every image that is noted.
Save this file as a txt (text file) for future reference.
Copy the modified code and place it into an INSERT > HTML.
Do not put the txt file in, only the code that's in the txt file like seen below:
Images:
Put the images into the web components part of the inserted html. Click add a file and one by one add each piece of the image to the list (seen here>>)
When all the images have been loaded to the list click ok
Then you can publish.

How to change your links later if you need to:
Open your image map txt file with NOTEPAD
Search, find, type in the word that is in your current link address (in this sample, I am using samisite)
That will take you to a part of the code that contains a link to my site when you click. There may be more than one of them in the code. Here's the first one:
<TD ROWSPAN="3" COLSPAN="2" WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="53">
<A HREF="http://www.samisite.com" TARGET="_blank" onfocus="this.blur()" onMouseOver="if(document.images) document.triangle402.src='^GEMDIR/triangle40_2x2_1.gif';"
onMouseOut="if(document.images) document.triangle402.src='^GEMDIR/triangle40_2x2.gif';"
><IMG NAME="triangle402" SRC="^GEMDIR/triangle40_2x2.gif" WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="53" BORDER="0" ALT="Section 1"></A></TD>
|
The link (bolded black) would be changed by you to whatever page address you prefer.
You can tell which image you are linking by checking out the rollover image name. 2x2 is the plain image 2x2_1 is the SECTION 1 image with red, 13x6 is regular, 13x6_10 is the SECTION 10 image with red, etc.
Then put the modified code into your INSERT > HTML, replacing the original code.
