Assigning Slice Cell Properties

After you have created sliced cells, use the settings in the Cell Properties group box to assign URLs, alternate text, and targets to each cell. You also set whether the cell should appear in the downloaded image. By omitting cells, you can add cells from other images (such as logos or text) and create images in non-rectangular shapes.

To assign cell properties:

Choose the Pan tool , then click inside the cell to make it active. The cell boundary information displays in the lower portion of the Cell Properties group box.
In the URL drop-down box, type the address of the Web page where you want the cell to appear. Click the arrow in the box to display and select addresses already used in the image.
In the Alt text box, type alternate text that the browser can display while the cell is downloading, if the cell doesn't download, or if the user has images disabled in the Web browser. This text also appears as a ToolTip in some versions of Internet Explorer.
In the Target box, select the target frame or window in which you want the image to open:

_blank Loads the linked page in a new browser window.

_parent Loads the linked page in the parent window or frameset of the link. If the link is not in a nested frame, the image loads in the full browser window.

_self Loads the linked page in the same window or frame as the link.

_top Loads the linked page in the full browser window and removes all frames.

To omit the cell from the downloaded image, clear the Include cell in table check box. No image will be saved for that cell.
By default, this check box is marked and the cell appears in the image.
To assign a rollover to a map area, click the Rollover Creator button. For more information, see Creating Image Rollovers.
