processing images...

[FederalProgrammer]

I have a JPEG image of how a web-page should look like... it contains all sorts of tab pages, headers and footers;
I am wondering if there's an easy way to turn this JPEG into html such that clicking on tabpage-headers for example are linked to their corresponding pages and so on...

any idea?

thanx!

You could use mapping coordinates so that the image on the page had different links based on where the users cursor was (there are programs that will help you with this) but I personally wouldn't use it.

By attempting to convert a JPEG image into some sort of html page you are totally going against the point of using .NET (i.e. no server controls etc) and you may as well have a classic asp page (or even a html page for that mater).

hmmm, good point....
However, the JPEG is only a template... I still have to use .net controls to fill-up the template... You see, I already have the website implemented (without the actuall neat graphics)... The graphic artist has designed the Headers and navigation bars and all... So I thought instead of redrawing the jpeg myself, may be I could somehow, break the jpeg into different sections or something...
I guess I have to manually CUT around each component in the JPEG and save them as images or something.... I just want to use the most efficient way to do this! The graphic artist has been paid a lot of money to come up w/ a design... So, I'm not sure what I have to do to replicate the design...

IMO this would be your best option then - you will retain the functionality you have already built in and you won't have the problems you would face with a huge map containing coordinates.

You need a nice program like Macromedia Fireworks or something. Fireworks is great because it gives you 80% of the power of Photoshop at 20% of the learning curve (and the price!!).

You simply draw slice objects over your template, and Fireworks will export the images along w/ corresponding HTML tables... a fully functional and working HTML design is your output. The only way to go.
