How do i map islands belonging to a mainland country?

Lets say i want to map Greece for a map in the HTML5 editor. Greece has a lot of Islands, so how do i make them become a part of greece withour drawing the border into the water?
Thanks.

I'm unclear of what you mean? Do you mean how do you map islands and then set them to another country instead of the island being a different country?

Just give it the same name as the other "mainland country". Once you finish drawing the island (or any land portion) it will ask for country name. In the pull-down list there are the country names you have used, choose the one that the island belongs to. This way a whoile archipelago can have the same name (and belong to the same country).

No don't do that, that will just make it another country with the same name. Do the second part of what Columna said. Then it will work
