Realize this is somewhat old, but found it, and wanted to post my results:

Also, I did something to screw the script up, so my button highlighting is a negative. Any help would be great!

This is a fantastic and very easy tutorial to follow. I am new to gimp and really liking to explore and discover how to use it. I do have a question though.

I am currently using version 2.4.5 when i go to filters > web > image map and get that pop up, i do not have the E and F, is there a way to have it show up? Or is this how this version will be without those two extra tools, although I did find the delete option under the Edit menu.

Also i have a ruler going horizontally an vertically how can I remove that, I can't seem to find that option at the moment.

Again thank you for the very useful tutorial :l:

Finally, paste the code into your webpage's source, and change the src="" to the location of the image.

wutz that??? the webpage's source??? and src???

YEA I HAVE A QUESTION I JUST USED THIS TUTORIAL TO MAKE A CHEAP LIL AD FOR MY MYSPACE BUT IT DOESNT WORK IN THE BULLETINS BUT IT WORKS ON MY PROFILE PAGE I DONT GET IT SOME ONE HELP ME OUT

GeeGee,

The web page source is it's page written in the source html code. Also the src portion refers to what to place in between the quotation marks for the src paramater for an img tag on the html page.

I recommend viewing the source code from Forbidding who did use this tutorial:

http://www.freewebs.com/forbidding/Parchment/index.html

Go to that page and in your browser click on View | Page source (if using Firefox), if using IE, I don't know where to look, but it's under one of the headings on your browser. When that page comes up, you will see lots of code, this is the web pages source. One piece of code that you will see on there in particular is the code for the image tag used for the image mapped image:



notice that for the src paramater in the image tag section Forbidding has shown the folder path on the site where the image has been placed.

If html coding is new for you, you might do well to study it at:

http://www.w3schools.com/Html/default.asp. If you don't like that site, try searching for HTML course in your favorite search engine. You will get a lot of options to choose from.

I'm a newbie with GIMP and Kompozer, building an art site where most of the links will be images, and some of the images will have multiple links. A question I have is the following. Do I need to use Filters/Web/Image Map to map the coordinates I want to specify for the links, or can I just as easily get them from the image itself with SHOW GRID. Would the coordinates be the same for both views (it looks like they are)?

Either way it looks like I would be inserting some lines of code into the html in order to specify the links. Most of my coordinates will be rectangles within the image.

Sorry for the newbie question, i'm trying to learn GIMP, KompoZer and HTML all at the same time. Feeling overwhelmed so far.
Thanks for your help, Cubby

I must have looked at a handful of different tutorials before
I finally had some success with activating my first image map.

And I wanted to thank you for making this available because
now I can make my graphic headers multi-functional.

Thanks!

(Not new to gimp, but new to the forum)

This is so cool. I"m gonna give it a go.
