I was wondering how would one go about making an image map in ROR?

I ask because in the early days we had some ways of making image maps  
(which I have forgotten) Has someone done this ?

Hi,

I’m not sure what you mean - an image map generator for rails?.. I  
think you can make image map by hand (the hard way) or use some  
graphics software like GIMP that lets you select regions on your image  
and assign them URLs. I use gimp for this purpose always and it’s just  
great.

Best,  
H.

Is there a way of making parts of images clickable dynamically or  
programmatically? Is there a way of taking an image and making parts of  
it dynamic by use of some program?
