image map problems(coordinates) - HTML Forums

TheLazyGenius · 10-31-2009, 12:07 PM

I am new to html. I just wanted to find out how to get the coordinates for an image. Is there some type of program you put it in to get the exact coordinates?

Please help...

code:

Code:

<img src="/home/brokenbot/Pictures/rihanna-beat-up1.jpg" width="500" length="600" alt="Rihanna Beat Up" usemap="rihannapractice" />

<map name="rihannapractice">
<area shape="circle" coords=

I'm lost on where to even start to find my coordinates.

Hi there TheLazyGenius,

and a warm welcome to these forums.

You could try irfanView a free image editor....

http://www.irfanview.net/

Open your image in irfanView, clicking it will show you the x,y coordinates in the top left-hand corner of the program.

Alternatively use this code...

Code:


<a href="#">
<img src="yourImage.jpg" ismap>
<a/>

Mouseover the image and the coordinates will be displayed in the status bar directly after the hash (#) symbol.
