Hi-di-hi!

I'm trying to create a new website similar to J K Rowling's official one ie: www.jkrowling.com but using a photo of my desk instead of hers.

I want people to be able to click my PC to contact me or do a web search and click on my keyboard to send me an email, click my Ipod to listen to my music? Stuff like that.

Can it be done I ask you please?
And also I am a total beginner - so how hard is it going to be??

I have never used any Macromedia products before as I ususally use Microsoft Frontpage for my websites that I have created.

Can anyone help me please.
Thankyou.

Yep, its called image maps, its very easy to do if your have photoshop, else, if you email it to me, with what you want to click, and i'll do it for you :)

As posted above, probably the simplest way to do it is using something called a 'Client Side Image Map'.

Basically an 'image map' defines regions (or 'hot spots') of a normal image (GIF, Jpeg, etc.) as polygons using co-ordinates. Each region acts as a link.

You say you use frontpage, try this:
http://webdesign.about.com/cs/frontpage/ht/htfpimagemap.htm

However, doing it as simply as this means you don't get fancy animations when you roll your cursor over the image 'hot spots', not without adding additional javascript code.

Thanks for the replies peeps.. your help is very much appreciated.

OK- so I've got the ball rolling.. I've got all the necessary software I need from Macromedia and I've figured out the hotspots with all the help from here..

No what I want to do is:
Make this pic more interactive to my website guests

So if you roll the mouse pointer over the monitor it will come up with a program on the monitor screen itself.

And other cool little things like.. click my speakers to listen to music tracks, click the books for links.. stuff like that.

Is it possible for this to become a reality?

Hopefully I can make the whole site interactive with stuff like a walkaround my house, my town and stuff like that.
