Extremely elementary question....

I'm brand new to this forum and brand new to HTML.<br />
<br />
I have an image that has a rectanglar "Click to Enter" area.<br />
<br />
My question is, how do I make this area of the image clickable (is that a word?)?<br />
<br />
I want visitors to click that area and have it send them to another page.<br />
<br />
Please explain is simple terms if possible.<br />
<br />
I've enclosed a link to the image I'm working on.<br />
<br />

Thanks,<br />
<br />
Earl<!--content-->Yes Dave! Thanks a million! I had been reading about the image map but didn't have a clue if that's what I needed or not.<br />
<br />
Another quick question if you don't mind.<br />
<br />
How do you figure the numerical value of the coordinates?<br />
<br />
Thanks again,<br />
<br />
Earl Clark<!--content-->The best way to get the coordinates of any pixel is to use an image editor. Any of the ones that I've played with will do the trick.<!--content-->Thanks for the responses!<br />
<br />
I'm using a very old version of Front Page. I believe it's just plain old Front Page, not one of the newer versions.<br />
<br />
Will this program show me those coordinates? If so, where?<br />
<br />
Also, I use Photoshop 6.0. Will it show me the coordinates as well?<br />
<br />
Would I benefit from upgrading to the latest version of Front Page? I just Download <!--more-->ed the trial version of Dreamweaver before I left to go to church. Would this be better than Front Page?<br />
<br />
Sorry for so many questions but I really want to learn.<br />
<br />
Thanks again,<br />
<br />
Earl Clark<!--content-->You would do well to get rid of both Front age and Dreamweaver and learn to mark up your own pages. It's actually quite easy and it's the only way to get it done right. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest:<br />

I've never used Photoshop but I'll bet you an indulgence or two that if you use it to open your image and then move your pointer over your image then somewhere on the screen you will see the coordinates of that pointer.<!--content-->Thanks Charles!<br />

The links look very interesting. Will go check them out now.<br />
