Hi.

I use image-mapper to create my monthly newsletter. i have 2 problems.

1- the mapped image displays fine in most email clients but unfortunately not macmail. Is there anything i can do to get it to display in macmail?

2- when i put my image map newsletter online as an alternative place to view i use wordpress. Wordpress does not display the image map correctly. That is to say the links I've created are no longer there. Is there something i can do to get the imagemap to display using wordpress?

I've dropped the image map code below so you can see that it works elsewhere.

Try creating the image map on a separate html page and use an iframe to show it in your WordPress site.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi,

I have not yet understood how I can link a map created with Image Mapper to my webstite (Wordpress). What I am doing is copying the html code of the map on a blank post (article). I don't copy all the Html, but just from:

<img src=

to

</map>

Then I put the link of the image here:

<img src="http://link of the image.com"

If I don't put any link I don't see any image. However, After this last process I can see the image, yet it's not an interactive and if I click on areas where I should get a link nothing happens. Could you help me, please?

Hi Mateo,
Can you share a link to the page?:)

Hi,

thanks for the quick answer. Here are the link.

If one clicks on "Rus" (Russia), a new window with the a pdf file should appear. In the preview of Coffee Cup Image Mapper everything works. Yet once I copy the htmal code in this webpage and I put the address of the image in, I see just the map, without the interactive link on "Rus" I developed...

Your missing the rest of the image map code that sets the areas that are linked. Make sure your grabbing all the html code that the image mapper generates.:)

Hi,

I think I copied all the html, included the part related to the area that is linked. It's just one area, as I am making a trial map. In the preview everything works, but when I copy the html in my webpage, nothing happens. Here's the link again. There are the two outcomes:

1 - The small rectangle - I simply copied the html that Image Mapper generated

2 - The map without the interactive link - The html that Image Mapper generated, with the url of the map in.

To be even more precise, here are the html I copied in the webpage. Do you see any errors?

I think the actual problem is that your image is huge and being scaled down. Change the image size to what's actually needed for your design.:)
2,080px × 1,270px (scaled to 508px × 310px)

Did you redo the map after you re-sized the image? The coordinates for the linked area should have changed.
