RAGE Software on Thursday introduced MapDesign 1.0, which enables Web page creators to add “hot spots” to image files on Web pages to create slick transitions without having to rely on plug-ins. It costs $19.95.
MapDesign offers a visual user interface for creating hot spots to a single image file that links to multiple Web pages. You can create mouse over and mouse down transitions using standard Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) without requiring any prior CSS or HTML coding knowledge.
System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.3 or later. A free demo is available.
