Images Overview
This page is part of the WebCom Web Publishing Guide. It provides an overview of the means by which images can be made available to people visiting a Web site.Note: Images must first be placed on WebCom using your FTP client.
Images may be embedded in an HTML document by including pointers to their location within the document. The person viewing the document will see these images in the document itself, without having to specifically retrieve them. Code and a Working Example are available.
Clickable images can be set up by creating a file containing a list of URLs associated with areas on the image, and then inserting a hotlink to it around the tag embedding the image in the document. Code and a Working Example are available.
Hotlinks to images can also be created. When a hotlink pointing to an image is selected, the file is automatically transferred to the user's computer. It will then either be displayed by the Web browser, or be loaded into an external program (if the browser is configured properly) capable of displaying it. Code and a Working Example are available.
The WWW Server automatically creates file listings when a directory with no "welcome" file is accessed. When the filename of an image placed in these directories is selected, the browser will either display the image itself, or load it into a program capable of displaying it. Example directory: http://webcom.com/~webcom/graphics/icons/
