    I have a town map where i wanted text to appear when the cursor was over certain places. Well I have done this in GIMP and now have it saved in this format. C:\Users\Public\Pictures\lewes map\Lewesmap.png.HTML

    Now if i double click it opens it and it works. However I cant send it to someone else, it doesnt work. How to i take tha and change it into a http that will work for anyone or use the source to add it to a website or something so that it works. I want lots of different people to be able to view it.

    Many thanks

      You need to put it on a web server.  Failing that, zip and email the entire folder, not just the HTML file.

            As Rob was saying, you need to upload it to that website.

            You need to put it on a web server.  Failing that, zip and email the entire folder, not just the HTML file.

              Thats my whole problem i have no idea how to uplaod it to the website. If i copy the source from the original it does not work on the website. I cannot just upload it as a JPG because it wont have thje pop  up text features when hovering over places. How do i take the image map from the saved location in my computer and put it onto the site?

              Upload all the files, not just the HTML.  Ensure you maintain the same directory structure.

              I'm guessing you already know how to use FTP?
