I have a banner on web page, and part of the image there is a graphic of a button box. How do I make just the part where the button is a clickable link such as a href? You can see a sample image below.
In the banner image there is a "Join Now, Its Free" Button graphic. I want to add a link on this box, so when users click on this box on the banner, then it will open the next page. I want to know how I can add a link on just this button. I don't want to add the <button>
tag to it; I just want to add a link based on the area of the "Join Now, Its Free" Button graphic. Anybody have any ideas on how I can add a link on this part of the image area without using the <button>
tag.
<div class="flexslider">
<ul class="slides" runat="server" id="Ul">
<li class="flex-active-slide" style="background: url("images/slider-bg-1.jpg") no-repeat scroll 50% 0px transparent; width: 100%; float: left; margin-right: -100%; position: relative; display: list-item;">
<div class="container">
<div class="sixteen columns contain"></div>
<img runat="server" id="imgSlide1" style="top: 1px; right:
-19px; opacity: 1;" class="item"
src="images/slider1.png" data-topimage="7%">
<a href="#" style="display:block; background:#00F; width:356px; height:66px; position:absolute; left:1px; top:-19px; left: 162px; top: 279px;"></a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul class="flex-direction-nav">
<li><a class="flex-prev" href="#"><i class="icon-angle-left"></i></a></li>
<li><a class="flex-next" href="#"><i class="icon-angle-right"></i></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Thank You
If you don't want to make the button a separate image, you can use the <area>
tag. This is done by using html similar to this:
<img src="imgsrc" width="imgwidth" height="imgheight" alt="alttext" usemap="#mapname">
<map name="mapname">
<area shape="rect" coords="see note 1" href="link" alt="alttext">
</map>
Note 1: The coords=" "
attribute must be formatted in this way: coords="x1,y1,x2,y2"
where:
x1=top left X coordinate
y1=top left Y coordinate
x2=bottom right X coordinate
y2=bottom right Y coordinate
Note 2: The usemap="#mapname"
attribute must include the #
.
EDIT:
I looked at your code and added in the <map>
and <area>
tags where they should be. I also commented out some parts that were either overlapping the image or seemed there for no use.
<div class="flexslider">

<img runat="server" id="imgSlide1" style="top: 1px; right: -19px; opacity: 1;" class="item" src="./test.png" data-topimage="7%" height="358" width="728" usemap="#imgmap" />
<map name="imgmap">
<area shape="rect" coords="48,341,294,275" href="http://www.example.com/">
</map>
<!--<a href="#" style="display:block; background:#00F; width:356px; height:66px; position:absolute; left:1px; top:-19px; left: 162px; top: 279px;"></a>-->

<!-- <ul class="flex-direction-nav">

</ul> -->
Notes:
- The
coord="48,341,294,275"
is in reference to your screenshot you posted.
- The
src="./test.png"
is the location and name of the screenshot you posted on my computer.
- The
href="http://www.example.com/"
is an example link.
by creating an absolute-positioned link inside relative-positioned div..
You need set the link width & height as button dimensions, and left&top coordinates for the left-top corner of button within the wrapping div.
<div style="position:relative">
<img src="" width="??" height="??" />
<a href="#" style="display:block; width:247px; height:66px; position:absolute; left: 48px; top: 275px;"></a>
</div>
