Map a Header

  • Unsure if posted in correct space here.
    I did a search and came up with a few differnt results.
    Maybe someone can point me in the right direction here.

    I need to add a html “image map” to my “header”. In what file do i need to edit and where does the <map start?
    thank you

  • All depends on your theme. It’s hard for us to provide specific knowledge without seeing your site/knowing your theme.

    The relevant file will most likely be header.php in the theme.

    You’ll need to find the code that causes your header to display and replace/edit that with your map code

    Rev, not totaly….in the top left corner theres an image wanting to appear. Any ideas?

    well…if I had to guess, in your header file you have

    <img src="art-header-jpg" USEMAP="#cell_store" BORDER=0>

    Is that supposed to be art-header.jpg?

    Also, you have that image in the <head> section of your site, All display stuff needs to be in the <body> section

    Also, where is the image located? WP has a way of loading images, you can’t just use relative paths in your template

    Yes, in the header file there is art header.

    I wasnt sure where the image was supposed to be as I wanted it as the header so figured thats where it goes, if it goes in the body than im very very lost.

    Didnt know i couldnt use the image that way. I just uploaded the image to the directory of the site itself.

    So now im really really lost after being excited.
    I tried finding something to point out what to do and found 5 different ways.
    If theres an easy correction and you can help me out that would be excelent.
    Thanks again

    For a website, the head section, and the displayed header are not the same. it is confusing.

    the <head> section is code that tells the website how to run. Stylesheets, doctypes, scripts, etc go here.

    Everything for display goes within the <body> section. Within the body section is going to be the displayed header.

    You would find where that is in your code (it’ll still be header.php) and insert your image there.

    To insert an image, the best way is probably to put it in the images folder within your theme. The code would then be something like:

    <img src="<?php echo get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ); ?>/images/art-header.jpg" USEMAP="#cell_store" BORDER="0" />

    based on what you have above
