4. Turbo HAL's image has a white background. Use Paint Shop Pro to change the white background to transparent. In this course, we use Paint Shop Pro (on your cd) to set the transparent color for a graphic. To do this using PSP, we will open an existing GIF file, choose the "Set Palette Transparency" option, and then use the eyedropper tool to select the color to display as transparent. Click "View Results" below to simulate this process. Once you have selected the transparent color, the graphic must be saved in the GIF format (which supports transparent colors). complete an image Map with at least three hot spots and use the three differnt types of hot spots: rectangle, circle, and polygon

Image Maps are explained in the Web Yoda Advanced XHTML Lesson 3 Courseware. I also created an additional power point on tutorial 3 at:
http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/faculty/john_taylor/cgs2820/elearning/80Les3_files/frame.htm

My online Example of a complex image map:
http://www.hccfl.edu/faculty/john_taylor/binarynum/bitswitch.html
If you click on a switch, the binary number will switch from 0 to 1, the light bulb will come on and the decimal number equivalent for the 8 bit binary number will be shown in the box to the right. You will notice that if you click on source, the page is done in frames so that the images may be preloaded to give a seamless effect that you are click the switch to tuwn it on. Therefore to see the code for the bit map, you have to access:
http://www.hccfl.edu/faculty/john_taylor/binarynum/0.html
There are 256 html files and 256 different images, each with eight rectangular hot spots. 0.html through 255.html

As a second example that works on the same principle, I did 96 html files each with a image on the page. This page has about 50 hot spots per file. Again I used frames (Chapter 5) to play this document so that all 96 images would preload:
http://www.hccfl.edu/faculty/john_taylor/letters/binarylet.html
However, if you want to view the image map code on one of the 96 files, here is the file for the space bar:
http://www.hccfl.edu/faculty/john_taylor/letters/space.html
Looking at the code, each file is named after the character on the keyboard, and each image has the same corresponding character.gif file name. The secret to making it look seamless is not only preloading the images. but also making the images exactly the same size and each key in exactly the same location.

There is an unfinished image map on the home page for COP 2822. If click on the Object heirarchy image down on the righthand portion of the page, the red, magenta, or aqua colored boxes you will junp to a page that explains that object. However, if you click on a yellow box, it will do nothing. I did not finish the project. You could finish this for me, making the yellow boxes, hot sports to explain that object:
http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/faculty/john_taylor/cop2822.html
A JavaScript student Winnie Que did an excellent job writing the code for the completed DOM (Document Object Model) at:
http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/faculty/john_taylor/objects/qiu/ObjectHierarchy1.html
It is a little more complicated than the code for the previous two examples, but you could get the URL for the yellow boxes by clicking on each to complete my project on the home page. Also an irrerular polygon could be setup on the image that would link you to her page

My suggestion for you is to take a photo of a group of people, and make an image map on the photo, which would link you to another page about the person in the photo. Put this in your photo album page.

My online JavaScript example of clicking a keyboard that was done first before I created the pure image map above is at:
http://www.hccfl.edu/faculty/john_taylor/keyboard/index.html
has a JavaScript bug. It works great for lowerccase, but if you click the shift key, then press a letter (uppercase) it gives an inaccurate switch setting, but if you click the letter a second time it gives you the correct setting. This was done above without JavaScript and simply do this is HTML with a complex image map. But this would require 96 separate web pages for it to give the samne effect. It took me about 10 hours to finish that site the hard simple HTML Image map way, but it works great with no errors.

I will have to think a while to comeup with another complex html image map example for some one to do. Maybe Turbo Hall will be a challenge. I really need a turbo hal animated gif. If want a super porject that needs to be on several key web pages, call me about a project described below.

5. review pages 3.23-3.24 animated gifs
and Web Yoda's Advance XHTML Lession 3-Animated Graphics

use Paint Shop Pro: Animation Shop 3 to
complete an animated GIF for you About Me Web Site

In BTECH 203 as well as BTECH 217, Paint Shop Pro 7 is installed on the machines. PSP7 is develop Jasc Software. There is a free 30 day download to sample Paint Shop Pro 7 which also comes bundled with Animation Shop 3 which we use to create an animated gif. First you need to have several images you wish to bundle together as animated gif. For it to be consistant you need to resize all the images so they are exactly the same width and height. Then use the wizzard in Animation Shop 3 and follow the instructions step by step.

6. use PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro to create or find on the web a graphic design for your About Me web site and post on your Home Page (upper left hand courner)

MSAgent Directions for Student CD:
http://www.hcc.cc.fl.us/faculty/john_taylor/msagents/msagent1.html

Download Mash (30 day free trial):
http://www.bellcraft.com/mash/

Use Mash to create a MASH script (.msh extention)with at least one agent character dialog(saving .msh will allow you to edit the script later, if needed). If you use Microsoft's Merlin, then the character is already installed in Windows ME, 2000, and XP. If you also use Peedy, Genie, or Robbie from Microsoft, then MASH's javascript generated will create popup a window to automatically download the character into the ../msagent/chars directory if the user does not have those characters installed. If you use another character, you should create an ftp directory link so that the user can download andf install the character. Go to the script output tab of MASH and save your script as a HTML/JavaScript to the clipboard. Paste the script in the head of the document below the title and meta tags. You should complete at least one agent application on your web site.

Also reference the URL or streamming video web page (URL will be sent via group email) on how to modify the script so that the agent will be triggered by clicking a button instead of automatically running everytime you enter the page. It would be wise to make you agent page as separate file iuf you do not make a button to trigger. After a few times the agent will annboy the user.
