cfimage tag

[Guest]

I have an image that I have created using the new image draw functions, but I need to have separate areas of the image as links to other pages. I know that the html map tag can be used to do this, but the problem is I can only get it to work if I hardcode the coordinates, but what I need is to use coldfusion variables as the coordinates as the images are drawn dynamically. Is there any way to do this, or a suitable alternative?

Can't you put the variable in the coords field

<cfset coords = "128,132,241,179">
<area shape="rect" coords="#coords#" href="link.html">

I've never tried it but it seems like the logical solution

It does indeed! And that's what I set out to do when developing the site as I saw no reason why that wouldn't work... but it doesn't. The coldfusion variables aren't evaluated within the map tag, and I'm baffled as to why not....

Problem solved! I have found my mistake earlier on in the code as to why the variables were not evaluated. Thanks for your reply.

no problem, its always the little things. Glad you got it working.
