Conveyor Belt Image Map

**McBain** · 03-05-2006, 04:19 PM

Hi,

I was playing around with the conveyor belt script

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...rightslide.htm

trying to get an image with an image map to go on the conveyor belt. It worked so when I hold the mouse cursor over the place where the image map is it pauses like it should. That is, it pauses using Internet Explorer, if I use any other browser the image will not pause.

Here is what I have.

<map name="map">
<area shape="rect" coords="374,298,412,337" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" alt="" >
</map>

leftrightslide[0]='<a href="http://"><img src="image1.jpg" border=1 usemap="#map"></a>'
leftrightslide[1]='<a href="http://"><img src="image1.jpg" border=1 usemap="#map"></a>'
leftrightslide[2]='<a href="http://"><img src="image1.jpg" border=1 usemap="#map"></a>'

If anybody can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Image maps and scripts can be tricky. To troubleshoot something like that would require the full page code, just to be on the safe side:

Without the image, it pauses just fine in both IE and FF. This leads me to believe that the onmouseover/out pause event should be assigned to the area tag and that a default area tag should also be used with this onmouseover/out event attached:

HTML Code:

<map name="m_map">
<area shape="rect" coords="374,298,412,337" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" alt="" onMouseover="copyspeed=0" onMouseout="copyspeed=slidespeed">
<area shape="default" title="" nohref  onMouseover="copyspeed=0" onMouseout="copyspeed=slidespeed">
</map>

Worth a shot. Also, giving the images dimensions might help.

Thanks a million. I knew it had to be something simple.

Just some more advice, I tested this out, as I was curious and I found that:

leftrightslide[0]='<a href="http://"><img src="lois_images/john/email_p_o.jpg" border=1 usemap="#m_map"></a>'

the red parts are not needed and the status bar reacts better without them and the cursor over the image map is default (arrow) when not over a link in IE, both desirable things, I would imagine.
