Image Mapper Notes / Changes / Updates

 
I will always be fixing something or adding some new features to this image mapping tool. This is where I will post my updates.

  • Fixed a bug with the comments. If a user posted a comment from 12/04/2008 to 12/09/2008 the comment is lost:( Sorry.

  • Fixed a bug while deleting a mapped spot, the array would lose track of its position.
  • Added a new feature to allow the users to add text links (site map of the image map) under the image map. The user will be able to turn this feature off if they choose. The code is also clearly marked with comment code so the user can move the code to another location on the site. It is reccommended that an image map has all links in text on that page too. Google will see an image map link but does not list it as a link to your site or a follow link.

  • Thanks for Darren's great comment on 2008/10/09 - 16:45:02, these additions/fixes were made today.
  • I made the previous custom image maps hidden by default when creating a new custom image map.
  • I also fixed the custom image maps to hide when you are editing a custom image map. Except the custom image map you are editing, it will still show.
  • You can also make the custom image maps visible again while editing or creating a new custom image map, with the newly added checkbox in the custom image map area.

  • Added the ability to edit custom shapes once they are saved. You can click on any of the plotted points for that image map to begin editing.
  • All features should be working on editing maps. Links, Titles, Javascript Rollovers, Plotting Points (on custom maps).
  • If you finish your image map and get the code, then find an error you can go back to the editing screen. It will ask you if you would like to load your current image map again. If you click ok, the maps will automaticly load from you last image map session. If you click cancel the image map will not load and you can start over on your mapping. If you wish to load the image map after clicking cancel you can refresh the page and it will ask you again.

  • Fixed a time out problem. If a user tried to upload an image from their PC more than one time it would time out.
  • Fixed a problem with using URL images like google maps this one for example puts a question mark (?) in the url which would not upload the image correctly.

  • New front page for www.image-maps.com. Nothing fancy but it is a little cleaner.
  • I have successfully mapped out the United States with this tool and you can check it out here: United States Mapped Out!. Here is what the maps look like right before I pressed the get the code button. What a mapped out image looks like.

  • Added support for scrolling on custom maps. You can now map images that have a larger width and height than your screen resolution!
  • Changed the mouse cursor to crosshair for eaiser plotting of custom points.
  • When scrolled the rectangle maps will appear where user has scrolled. Instead of in position 10px Top and 10px Left.
  • Fine tuned Microsoft Internet Explorer's (IE) pixels, they were off by 2px by 2px on custom maps (poly). All other tested browsers seemed to be ok.

  • The Image Map Tool has had a complete make over! I feel it is a lot easier to use and cleaner. Give it a try!
  • I was able to successfully map images on the following browsers: Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.3, Opera 9.52, Safari 3.1.2 and Google Chrome 0.2.149.30. My Operating System is Windows XP Pro.
  • Opera has two bugs. The rectangle map box is not transparent(Safari and Chrome too) and the rectangle link and title boxes widths are off. You can still map images with these browsers.

  • The Image Mapping Tool was born! I will always be fixing something or adding some new features. But so far the image mapper seems to be working great! Testing with IE7 and Firefox 3.
