onmouseover client-side event for RectangleHotSpot

[Chris Chamberlain]

Hi,

I'm currently generating client-side imagemaps using PlaceHolders and
HtmlGenericControls. This allows me to add attributes for onmouseover and
onmouseout events onto the <area> hotspots themselves, eg:

<map name="mapNav">
<area shape="RECT" coords="0,0,119,14" alt="information about buying a
property in france" href="file1.aspx" onmouseover="mapOver(1,true)"
onmouseout="mapOver(1,false);"></area>
<area shape="RECT" coords="0,14,119,28" alt="information about regions
in france and the partner offices" href="file2.aspx"
onmouseover="mapOver(2,true)" onmouseout="mapOver(2,false);"></area>
<area shape="RECT" coords="119,0,238,14" alt="property for sale in
france" href="file3.aspx" onmouseover="mapOver(3,true)"
onmouseout="mapOver(3,false);"></area>
</map>

I have just discovered the asp:ImageMap webcontrol and the associated
RectangleHotSpot and am trying to reproduce the above using these controls.

However, the RectangleHotSpot control will not allow me to add attributes to
itself, hence I am unable to add individual onmouseover and onmouseout
events for each of the hotspots.

Does anyone have a way around this? Am I missing something obvious?

Kind regards

Try this:

<asp:ImageButton
id="ImageButton1"
ImageUrl="button1.gifâ€

onmouseover="this.src='~/URL OF MOUSE OVER IMAGE'"
onmouseout="this.src='~/URL OF MOUSE OUT IMAGE'"

OTHER PROPERTIES HERE

runat="server">

</asp:ImageButton>

In VS2005 the code section: "onmouseover /onmouseout" may be highlighted as
wrong but it will work just fine in IE and Firefox.

Hope this helps

Hi
I'm having the same problem and I don't think that ImageButton would solve the problem. Map area means that image would have many buttons . In my case over 1000.

I'm currently working on a workarround class, such as:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/HtmlMap.asp

It seems that MS is trying to hide JavaScript and html possibilityes...
