Can you clarify what you are doing please. Are you trying to get a clickable link in your image?

The hyperlink should go in the html coding for the web page immediately before the image. e.g <a href="http://www.website.com"><picture.jpg></a>

<picture.jpg> should be <img src="picture.jpg" alt="" />

Well, to associate an image map with an image, simply add the usemap attribute to the img tag for the image. In the above example, the image map is called "shapes", so our img tag looks like this:

Code:

<img src="http://www.v7n.com/forums/images/shapes.jpg" width="375"
height="102" style="border: none;" alt="Shapes" usemap="#shapes"/>

Note the usemap="#shapes" attribute, that associates the image map with the image.

Had you read all of the replies you would have seen the OP is not doing a web page.

It's easy, use this:
<a href="http://website.com"><img src="your image"></a>

How do you encode that within a JPEG file so that it is actionable?

Other than using it on a web page or other HTML environment which is not what this person wants to to do, I am not aware of any method. Since it sounds like mischief ware in the making I don't think I would tell even if I knew a way to do it.

Just my opinion.

I don't think that the OP is necessarily up to no good, but just wants know how it is that clicking on some images causes a certain action, and mistakenly believes that that is a property of the image file itself, rather than being an externally defined attribute.

If it is not for a web environment then what are we linking to? In addition, though I am surely not all knowing unless some type of scripting or programming code is used there is no possible way to do it...a picture is a picture...

Bingo.

You could embed a picture of the text of an anchor element in a picture, but it remains a non-actionable picture.

Code is code, content is content.

Could you write an application that treats content as code? Yes. But, in the present case, that would require a specialized application that would treat the JPEG file in a manner other than the usual.
