I heard it was possible to create your layout out of a image using code.
So you would have a just one image instead of images for each button, header, footer etc.
You would then give coordinates and create shapes around the object for example a button.
Is there a name for this technique I'm searching for a tutorial.
As I correctly understand your question. It is called "image map" .

I had a quick search for this problem and couldn't find anything that satisfied both parts so I hope this is ok to ask:
I am creating an interactive map which has an aerial image of a location as a background, with small icons overlayed over the top. These icons, when clicked should open a popup window with images or videos that have been taken in those locations, much like a google map.
I have found code to allow me to layer images over each other here:
Html Image over image
And I have found code for a popup here:
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_js_popup
And I can get both of these elements to work separately on my webpage, however I'm stuck as to how to combine them so that the image I have overlayed can be clicked on to trigger a popup.
It's been a while since I have coded in HTML and I can usually handle these kind of challenges but I'm finding myself a bit out of my element here.
Thanks!
I want to get a picture of a motorcycle, by passing the mouse above tell me which parts it is (wheel, casing, handlebar, brakes ...) but I do not know how to do it. I searched but I do not know where to start. It's to put it on my website.
You can use the map tag to create regions in the image and create on hover actions for each region. See an example here
Is there any way to create clickable hotspots over a JPEG image in order to navigate to a different image/page? I would like to achieve this without having to code everything in manually and InVision has a lot of limitations.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
If you want to make parts of an image clickable, just use an image map. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_map.asp
to do this without coding it in manually you will need some application to make the code for you. it'd be faster for a 1-time use to just set a size for your image, and then make areas (like div's) that are set in place of where it looks like a button on the image, and set their onclick to be a link to your other page or file.
I downloaded a PSD file containing buttons that i want to use on my website. Problem is i don't know how to access them for use on the website. How would i extract these buttons? or is there a better way to do it? here is a screenshot of the psd open in photoshop.
You can use this Slicer application:

I tried it and it works perfect. You must upload .png file and then set the slice lines. You must have clicked on the layer if you want to slice it. Try it, it's really simple.
I tried Nedoma's link and here is output:
First step: I crop your image nad add some lines
Second: I used Split function
It looks there are more functions but they works only when you're using transparent background.
If you want to hide text layers before processing in this tool, there is link to Photoshop script http://slicer.codeborg.com/hide-text-script.html
You could use the rectangular marquee tool, cut out the button you want, then create a image based off the button you just cut out. This will essentially give you the button you want, then in your website just have your button be that image.
If you are having trouble saving the individual button images, you need to learn how to use the slice tool
I have a very peculiar requirement and I am not an HTML expert. I need to create a CHM (Compiled HTML File) in which I want to use an image (a single screenshot) that will have parts of the image linked to other sections in the help file. In other words I want to hover the mouse to individual regions in the single screenshot to link to other parts of the help file.
Just for information the screenshot is a shot of various buttons and checkboxes that are a part of the application.
I do not wish to break up the single image into multiple images and then link each image to another part of the help file (that explains the function of the image). I think that is very much possible and not a problem at all.
If you can just in brief explain how this can be done or provide me a link I would be grateful.
You can use an Image Map for this. You basically have a normal image and then place various invisible shapes over the image. You can then use all the shapes for hover and click events.
With some googling I found this: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/images/images_famsupp_220.html
Consider using an HTML image map, which you can create online here. An HTML image map is a set of tags describing various regions of an image that can have links of their own.
Aren't those called "image maps"? HTML has a tag called <area> (and <map> itself) which allows you to do this.

You'll need to use an image map for this. If you want to get a bit fancy and have rollover's for this you could think about using the ImageMapster jQuery plugin.
