Using the HTML Image Map tool, you can convert a MapInfo Pro map into an HTML image map. Visitors to your Web page can click any region on the HTML image map to link to other HTML pages specific to that region.

The Landing Pages option allows you to click any region in the HTML image map and link to an HTML landing page specific to that region. You can put whatever content you want into the landing pages, including column information from your table. The user interface enables you to select the columns you want to use and customize the text.

Selecting Columns for a Landing Page

You can select which columns you want to display on the landing page. Check the Populate landing pages with record content box to activate the Columns button. Click Columns to open the Choose Columns dialog box. You can add individual columns or all the columns from your table. By default all the columns in the table are selected and appear in the Columns on landing page list.

To remove a column from the landing page content, click a column to highlight it and click Remove. The column name appears in the Columns not on landing page list.

Using Column Name Aliases

You can use column aliases from your table's metadata as the basis of the content of your landing pages.

To bring your column alias metadata into the Choose Columns dialog box, click Load from metadata. The column aliases display in the Column name alias list. Now you can edit the column aliases so that the content of the landing page is what you want.

To edit a column name alias, click an alias from the Column name alias list to highlight it, and then click Edit. You can make any text changes you want; it is completely customizable.

Additional buttons in the dialog box, Upper Case, Proper Case, and Remove `_', allow you specify the case of the column text, or remove underscores from column name aliases.

Note: These buttons will change all the column name aliases in the list.

In addition, you can save your edits back to the table's metadata. Click Save to metadata when you have finished editing the column aliases.

ToolTips

When you hover your cursor over a region or polygon in your HTML image map, a ToolTip displays. The ToolTip information comes from the column you selected in the dialog box.
