Question
I have seen an image that has more than one link in the one image. I think this is extremely cool but don't have the faintest idea what it is called or how to do this on my pages. Please help.

No problem "Desperate". This is what is referred to as "Image Mapping". We have designed a full tutorial on this subject since it is something that is hard to understand. We also took the guess work out of trying to figure the coordinates by adding a link to an online mapping generator that makes the code and coordinates for you. Just follow the below link to see how easy it really can be done;

A Frustrated Web Designer Writes:
Help! I am getting very frustrated trying to code colored scroll bars. Each time I change a color, I have to go and review the page to see if it is what I want. Do you know where I could possible find a scroll bar generator that I can see the results as I code each color?

Have no fear, we have a scroll bar generator that will do exactly what you want. You can either add our generator to your favorites or grab your own from that page. You can preview all the colors on the same page it will generate the code. You do know that this effect will only be seen with IE5+. Anyone else will just see the normal scroll bars.
