Adapting the Image Thumbnail Viewer II to work with html image maps

[Dare]

Hi.
I put the Image Thumbnail Viewer II in one of my webpages and it works fine with <a href="..."></a> labels. However, I need to implement it over an html image map for instance:

<map name="Map">
  <area shape="rect" coords="123,94,132,102" href="#">
</map>

It doesn't work with that kind of href labels (only works with <a href ).
Below is the code of the js file that makes everything. I tried to modify it in order to use the map elements, but no success.

Any has any idea? It would be really appreciated. Thx.

In theory, if you replace the current init function with this one which also checks for and initializes area tags:

init:function(){ //Initialize thumbnail viewer script
this.iefiltercapable=(this.iefiltercapable && this.enableTransition) //True or false: IE filters supported and is enabled by user
var pagelinks=document.getElementsByTagName("a")
for (var i=0; i<pagelinks.length; i++){ //BEGIN FOR LOOP
if (pagelinks[i].getAttribute("rel") && /enlargeimage:/i.test(pagelinks[i].getAttribute("rel"))){ //Begin if statement: Test for rel="enlargeimage"
var initType=pagelinks[i].getAttribute("rel").split("::")[1] //Get display type of enlarged image ("click" or "mouseover")
if (initType=="mouseover"){ //If type is "mouseover", preload the enlarged image for quicker display
this.preloadedimages[this.preloadedimages.length]=new Image()
this.preloadedimages[this.preloadedimages.length-1].src=pagelinks[i].href
pagelinks[i]["onclick"]=function(){ //Cancel default click action
return false
}
}
pagelinks[i]["on"+initType]=function(){ //Load enlarged image based on the specified display type (event)
thumbnailviewer2.loadimage(this) //Load image
return false
}
if (this.hideimgmouseout)
pagelinks[i]["onmouseout"]=function(){
thumbnailviewer2.hideimage(this)
}
this.targetlinks[this.targetlinks.length]=pagelinks[i] //store reference to target link
} //end if statement
} //END FOR LOOP

var pageareas=document.getElementsByTagName("area")
for ( i=0; i<pageareas.length; i++){ //BEGIN FOR LOOP
if (pageareas[i].getAttribute("rel") && /enlargeimage:/i.test(pageareas[i].getAttribute("rel"))){ //Begin if statement: Test for rel="enlargeimage"
var initType=pageareas[i].getAttribute("rel").split("::")[1] //Get display type of enlarged image ("click" or "mouseover")
if (initType=="mouseover"){ //If type is "mouseover", preload the enlarged image for quicker display
this.preloadedimages[this.preloadedimages.length]=new Image()
this.preloadedimages[this.preloadedimages.length-1].src=pageareas[i].href
pageareas[i]["onclick"]=function(){ //Cancel default click action
return false
}
}
pageareas[i]["on"+initType]=function(){ //Load enlarged image based on the specified display type (event)
thumbnailviewer2.loadimage(this) //Load image
return false
}
if (this.hideimgmouseout)
pageareas[i]["onmouseout"]=function(){
thumbnailviewer2.hideimage(this)
}
this.targetlinks[this.targetlinks.length]=pageareas[i] //store reference to target link
} //end if statement
} //END FOR LOOP


} //END init() function

It should work out.

It works. Thank you so much for your time and for your skills.
Best regards.
