Preview Ad Module
is a combination of an htm file and its corresponding graphic image together representing the Preview Ad module. Only Preview Ads with links require the htm file. Preview Ads with links are comprised of two components, a graphic image (the Preview Ad itself) along with an ".htm" file containing the coordinates (imagemap). The file must end in ".htm" not ".html." See specifications below for how how to code links into a module.

Naming Files in a Module
All Preview Ad modules must contain a .htm file along with a .gif or .jpg of the same name. For example, if your image file is called "myad.gif", the corresponding .htm file MUST be name "myad.htm" as well. Here are a few examples:

 

 

Preview Ad Module w/Links
Preview Ads can incorporate links to an advertiser's external website, Thomas Register Internet Catalog (TRI), and other relevant web based destinations. Preview Ad links are established by utilizing standard client side image map coding in the HTML portion of the 'module'.
* Note: Preview Ads that do not contain links, do not require an accompanying .htm imagemap file. Simply zip up the graphic and load it to ProofStat.
