Rollover Image -- Only a small portion of image used

Greetings,

I am trying to create a rollover image that take visitors to another page BUT I am trying only to use
a small portion of the image.

I have an image that spands 500x75 pixels that consists of a checkered pattern. I want to be able to use only one rectangle of the pattern that is 100x75 pixels, that would create an altered image and that would also be a link to another page.

I am unable to use the "Map" shape function and the rollover image function at the same time. Or at least I am unable to correctly strings these two functions together. Any suggestions.

At the moment I am unable to post a link becuase my client is activating the DNS #'s.

I hope I was clear enough. Thanks in advance for your time & energy.

I see what you're trying to do and I suspect its not possible (might be wrong).

The obvious solution is to slice the image and put the rollover and link on the appropriate slice.

Don't make things hard for yourself.

You could try to slice the image into one section 100px wide and another
400px wide. Then just use the 100px slice for your rollovers.

Or, create two 500px wide images that differ only in that 100px area, and
use the whole thing as a rollover.

OR, you might be able to make a large layer to hold the whole image, and a
nested layer to hold just the 10px part. When the large layer is moused
over, the smaller layer changes it's image to the rollover image.
