    I should preface by saying “there by the grace of help-from-the-forums go I”
    i want to create a header graphic and “chop” it up in Photoshop so different areas on the header are clickable and will take you to different pages. Can I do this? Has anyone else done it? Finally, where is a good place to start and does anyone have example code and where i would put it. Thank you So much for any input.

    One fairly easy way to do this would be to create an HTML image map in the header of your template so that each time a page is loaded the map is there. The map will coordinate where an area of the image should click through to.

    For a tutorial on HTML image maps try:

    It’s probably worth saying that you should be careful with image maps because of all the accessibility stuff.

    Another way to do it would be to slice up the image into a HTML table and have the relevent segments link to wherever. This can get pretty messy too and I can’t find a decent tutorial on it.

    Let me know how you get on.
