Image File Add & Upload form |
This form is used to create and upload images for use as elements or components of web pages created in Connect Builder. Every image to be made available for use as a web page element or page body background must be assigned a label in this form. Image maps can also be applied to images. To use an image map, the image map must be defined in the Maintain Image Map form. The area tags for the image must also be defined in the Maintain Image Map Area Tags form. The NAME recorded against the image map must be recorded in the Usemap field of the image in the Maintain Image form. When the image is applied to a web page body, the image map must also be applied as a sibling of the image in Connect Builder. The area targets should be recorded as subordinates of the image map in the relationship builder. For more details on the creation of web pages refer to the specialist topic Understanding the Web Administrator. |
