Today’s Byte is very specific – so I suspect few folks will use it today – but I hope you’ll be able to store away the knowledge until you need it – or that it might inspire you to include a clickable image on an upcoming WordPress post.
Here is a site I’ve been working on: http://arrowheadtransitmn.com/
We wanted to include a clickable map of the areas served in the first post. I created a “hot spot” image using Dreamweaver. (You can learn how to do that here: http://www.dreamweavertutorial.net/tricks/dreamweaver-cs3-image-hotspots/.) Unfortunately simply cutting and pasting the html from Dreamweaver did not work. But the solution was simple. I just shifted one line of code. I’ll paste the Dreamweaver version vs what I used in WordPress below – and I’ll highlight in bold the line I moved.
From Dreamweaver:
<table width=”276″ height=”38″ border=”0″ align=”right”>
<tr>
<td></p>
<img src=”http://arrowheadtransitmn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/regionBlueGray.gif” alt=”Arrowhead” width=”250″ height=”287″ border=”0″ usemap=”#Map” /></td>
</tr>
</table>

Just remember to add the code into the HTML face of WordPress.
