image map form

[pegboy]

once again i'm going to post a question that i'm embarrassed about.

i want an image map form submit. the image i have has three buttons in it. the last one is a "submit" button, but can't figure out the tags. anyone...?

Just need to clarify, if thats okay.

When you say an imagemap, do you mean that you need the coordinates of the image transmitted along with the form, or do you have an imagemap, with three links, and you need one to submit a form?

If its the latter, the code is relatively simple, heres a sample, tested -

<form method="post" action="index.html" name="test">
<input type="hidden" name="tester">
</form>
<map name="testmap">
<area shape="rect" coords="100,10,200,100" href="javascript:document.test.submit();">
</map>
<img src="quietdean.com/tfc.jpg" usemap="#testmap">

Adapt it, try it. You may like it

Hi:

I am trying to adapt this code to use and am having some issues. My programming skills are extremely limited. You indicate an action=index.html in the form tag. What does index.html look like? Is it the current page, if so where does the submitted data go and how do you use it. I am looking to have an image map transfer the name of a selected area into a separate page and document.write (or something similar) it on that secondary page (along with some other text)

index.html is just an example file, it can be anything.
