Any HTML guru's know how, if at all possible, to image map an image used as a background?

 

sounds complicated. why not just imagemap an image? i guess you can always put an image that blends in with the background and make your imagemap that way.

 

Yeah, I thought about the image blending background thing, but sounded like more work than I wanted to. The reason why I want to image map the background is because I'm using inline frames and it is embedded into a picture (the background). I'll tinker around some more.

 

Since you are using frames, set an explicit window size and use a picture for the image map. You cannot apply image map tags to the background, its out of spec. Out of spec means browsers won't know what the hell you are trying to do when they render the page.

 

put the image in an IMG tag in a SPAN and use a relative positioning to make it fill the page. You may need some javascript to handle window resizing (this is the hard part). Give it a z-layer value of 0, turn it into an imagemap and put the rest of your content on top. It's tricky, but it is quite doable.

 

Thanks
