| I'm not sure if the author is being unclear or if I'm being dense, but I'm stuck and hoping someone can help me out here:
First problem:
We created a new project, which is supposed to become the splash page for the Dynamic Movies app. It has an image, and an image map hand-typed in to Main.html which looks like this:
<map name="splashmap"> <area shape=rect coords="191,137,259,174" href=""http://www.dell.com/">http://www.dell.com"> <area shape=rect coords="0,80,215,159" href=""http://www.apple.com/">http://www.apple.com"> <area shape=rect coords="146,52,253,97" href=""http://www.ibm.com/">http://www.ibm.com"> <area shape=rect coords="204,89,265,128" href=""http://www.sun.com/">http://www.sun.com"> </map>
Then we created a component called WOArea.
He lost me completely at the top of page 44:
"Now in the Main component, replace each of the image map area elements with WOArea dynamic elements."
I have no idea how to do that. I can add four WOAreas to the page, of course, but how to make them replace the image map? Not a clue. I tried looking at his source code but as usual all traces of this intermediate step are gone, so it didn't help.
Second problem:
I tried to keep going but got stuck again right away at the top of p. 45:
"So create a new component called WOMappedRollover. Cut and paste the elements for the image map (that is the script, the image map itself, and the image) into the WOMappedRollover component."
Script? Eh what? I have no idea what he's talking about, and once again the sample code fails me because there doesn't seem to be any trace of this step left in it. Or I'm just not seeing it because I don't know what he's referring to.
Has anyone before me figured these out? Or am I just showing my ignorance?
Thanks,
janine
