How do I make non-rectangular hotspots?

#1 Post by dIgItayel »

I'm using imagemaps to make hotspots, and it just occurred to me that not all of my hotspots should be rectangular. How do I make a non-rectangular hotspot?

As far as i know (if someone knows better, feel free to correct me) you cant do that. You can use imagebuttons instead.

You can do it the same way as in imagebuttons]:
Documentation wrote:Imagemap

The imagemap statement is used to specify an imagemap. It takes no parameters, and the following properties:

<SKIPPED>

alpha
    If true, the default, a hotspot only gains focus when the mouse is in an area of the hover image that is opaque. If false, the hotspot gains focus whenever the mouse is within its rectangular boundary.
