Hi Subodh,

You may refer to the sample code "Custom Clickable Objects" on how to make a custom text (such as your company name) clickable.

Hope this can help.

Hi Subodh,

Please change your code to:

ChartDirector.TextBox copyRight = m.addPlotAreaTitle(Chart.TopLeft, Suggest);

Then following the code example in "Custom Clickable Objects" to produce the image map, that is, after you have created the chart image, please add the line:

String copyRightCoor = copyRight.getImageCoor();

The please add the followings as part of the image map:

<area <%=copyRightCoor%> href='javascript:popMsg("the copyright message");'
    title='The copyright text is clickable!' />

I realize you may be using a different framework (JSF?) and your code may be different. If the above still cannot solve the problem, would you mind to inform me your exact code that you use to generate the image map?

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan

Hello Mr.Peter u r right i m using JSF Framework ,As U Suggested i made changes in My bean Now i m not able to make Changes in JSF page for this code
<area <%=copyRightCoor%> href='javascript:popMsg("the copyright message");'
    title='The copyright text is clickable!' />

How I will Integrate this Code in my Jsf Page ?,Right Now i m Using this Code to Draw Chart

<h:graphicImage url='#{techChartManager._url}' usemap="#map1" style="border:0"  >
   </h:graphicImage>
         <h:outputText escape="false" value="#{techChartManager._imageMap}" />

Hello Mr.Peter I added this Code in My Jsf Page
  <area   coords="#{techChartManager._fetchCopyRightCoor}" href='javascript:popMsg("the copyright message");'/>

But Company Name looking Like a static Field

and Bean Changes r look like this

_fetchCopyRightCoor= chartbean.getCopyRightCoor();

TextBox copyRight;
if (Suggest != null && Suggest.length() > 0){
copyRight = m.addPlotAreaTitle(Chart.TopLeft, Suggest);
    copyRightCoor = copyRight.getImageCoor();
}

Hi Subodh,

In JSP, the HTML code:

XXX
YYY

means appending YYY to XXX in the output. In Java, to append "YYY" to "XXX", the code is "XXX" + "YYY". So for the area tag, the code in Java is:

imageMap += "<area " + copyRightCoor + "href='javascript:popMsg(\\"the copyright message\\");' title='The copyright text is clickable!' />";

In the above, I assume imageMap is the varaible that you are using to store your existing image map, without the ending </map> tag (so you can add image map to it). (I assume you are already using image map in your code.)

Note that like all image map code, the getImageCoor must be called after the chart is drawn. In your message, you seem to call it immediately after addPlotAreaTitle. This may not work.

Also, as shown in the sample code, there is no need to have "coords" in the area tag.

If the above still cannot solve the problem, you can look at your HTML. You should find the image map, and check if the syntax is correct.

Hope this can help.
