Image Map Photo in a different directory
Image mapper does not recognize when a photo your using is in a different directory. It normally just writes in the code "picturename.jpg", this means when you insert the code in your html page, you have to upload the "picturename.jpg" to the same directory to get the picture to show.
But you can get around that upload your picture to the directory you want to save on your web server. Then edit the image src code to use the actual url the picture is located on your web server (SAMPLE: <img src ="http://www.myweb.com/directory/picturename.jpg" ) Then insert the modified code in your html file.
Note: If you edit the image map in the future you will have to change picture url each time. But for those who like to keep a well organized webserver will be glad they did. "Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today"
