Image Map Menu

Post by Dr.CSS »

Tips and Tricks  OK
how about an image map menu with links generated from your pages,, you just need an image to relate it to. I hacked 1 of the bullet menus.

  :D  mark

BTW the one at the bottom of the content is a small hand coded one I only needed it to be limited to 3 things and don't know any js coding to limit the search string to look at only 1 set of pages.

Very, very nice way to create an image flip menu indeed  :o
Willing to share, or is this one for the tricks section?

Hmm, almost forgot that's what webservers do... sharing things ;)
See it's a static image in a div with a css position flip... pretty cool. How compatible is this?

Did spot some weird typo's in your CSS BTW  ;D

/* set the size of the definition list and add the background image */
#imap {
  display:block;
  width:149px;
  height:394px;
  ackground: url(uploads/images/mainmenu.jpg) no-repeat;
  position:relative;
  }

/* the hack for IE pre IE6 */
* html #imap a#title {
  height:240px;
  he\ight:0;
  }

That's not a typo i did that because the image was not showing up, i had to put it in the color CSS as background for the box that imap is in just never cleaned it up  ;) ,,
i have no problem with sharing,, i'm using dt's, dl's, dd's, and it works cross browser, you can find a tutoriol(sp?) at http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/Image_menu.html it uses ul, li, so it fits in with the menu system w/o the hacks that i used on the menu .js file,, i did mine before i found that ^ tut.

You could also use bulletmenu and then use Image-Replacement. Haven't tried it with CMS made simple yet, but I did it for a voice-over professional website.
