Is it possible to insert a hotspot image into an image in RH8?

Hi there

I'm going to have to both agree and disagree with Colum's viewpoint on this.

First, the bad news. You won't be able to accomplish it as you described using only RoboHelp. Mousing over will not produce an image as you asked. Using what Colum suggested all you would see is a mouse pointer change indicating the area is clickable. But the user would need to click in order to see the image.

Now for the good news. You *CAN* actually accomplish it by acquiring a third party JavaScript solution. You might check out OverLib.  ( http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ )

Hopefully this is helpful... Rick

Sure you can. What you need to do is add the initial image to the topic then create an image map. This allows you to define shapes that when the user's mouse hovers over it indicates that there is a hyperlinkto another topic. Just right click on the image, select Insert Image Map and go from there.
