image link

Hello all:

Can someone tell how to create a graphic image that would be send tru email with links to our web site?

Thank  you

What email client do you use?

We use MS Outlook 2003 to send our emails

I created a file using Micromedia Fireworks 8. I added a Hotspots to the title to be link to our web site. When I preview in the Browser the link works.

Now I want to Email this file, The email goes tru however the link to  our web site does not work.....Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Can you tell us what the link is when it works and then what it is when it does not work?

Basically its just a jpg file with a link to our web site. We want to email it not as an attachment but inserting it in the email

I believe when you use Fireworks to create hotspots in an image it creates a html file that has all map tag coordinates, these need to be used in conjunction with the image. When you hit the preview button I think it auto creates a temporary html file. One way to verify this is that you preview the image, then right click on the preview page and choose view source you might see something like:

<map name="planetmap">
  <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126" href="sun.htm" alt="Sun" />
  <area shape="circle" coords="90,58,3" href="mercur.htm" alt="Mercury" />
  <area shape="circle" coords="124,58,8" href="venus.htm" alt="Venus" />
</map>

OR Fireworks might be creating javascript which, I don't believe you can stick in a email anway.

As a work around (if you have just one link per image) you could just insert the image into your email and make it a link through normal outlook 2003 controls.

If you know someone with a little web programming skills, sending an html email isn't very hard to do.
