Available HotSpots
This is the list of all the hotspots detected in the loaded
document.
Each item will display an icon representing the type of hotspot:

indicates that the selected hotspot is an image. Auto
relative positioning is available.

indicates that the selected hotspot is text. Auto
relative positioning is
not available and the x,y coordinates
where the menu should be displayed must be provided.

indicates that the selected hotspot is text however DHTML
Menu Builder will convert it into an active text element. Auto
relative positioning will be available.
More information on how to prepare your documents so DHTML Menu Builder can detect the hotspots.
Attached Group
Shows the group currently attached to the
selected hotspot.
You can change the group by selecting another one from the list.
To detach a group from the selected hotspots, select (none)
from the list.
Alignment
Determines the alignment of the menus relative to the selected group (hotspot)
Image Name
If the selected hotspot is an image, it is displayed here.
If the selected hotspot is an image and it has no name, type a
unique name for it. When your image-based hotspots
have a name, DHTML Menu Builder can implement
auto relative positioning. With this, the menus will always
appear aligned to your hotspots regardless of the position of the hotspots. Instead of using fixed values to position the menus in your pages,
DHTML Menu Builder will determine the position of the hotspot at the moment it is triggered. The menus will appear perfectly aligned to the image that
triggered it.
Position
Sets the absolute position of
the selected group when the selected hotspot is triggered.
This setting is only available when the selected hotspot is
text-based.
The numbers in the text boxes will specify the left and top
coordinates of the menu.
Image Preview
If the selected hotspot is an image, a preview will be shown in
this space.
Active Text
Converts a text-based hotspot into an active element so DHTML Menu Builder can implement auto-relative positioning. This button is enabled only when the hotspot is text. The result is that DHTML Menu Builder
can determine the exact position of the
hotspot at when it is triggered and automatically align the menu to the
hotspot. This will occur even if the position of the hotspot changes when the
browser is resized.
