Image Maps

Some websites use "image maps" for navigation. In the example below, the users were asked to select a canadian province by clicking a certain region on the map:

When automating these image maps, switching the click mode to "URL" is very helpful, as it works directly on the URLs that the image parts are associated to. And not on the image's full HTML code.

Here's an example macro automating a series of image maps:

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=6000707     
TAB T=1     
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS     
SET !REPLAYSPEED SLOW
URL GOTO=http://www.mls.ca/
