Image maps

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

I have a page with an image map on. Works fine under Mozilla, but
completely fails under IE. The page validates okay.

Is there anywhere in particular I should place the image map "definition"?

The page can be view at

Thanks

Doesn't work in Opera 7 either.

Liar.

Not really. Some people recommend placing it before the image map
itself so that it's available to be used as soon as the image map
loads, even if the page as a whole hasn't finished loading.

usemap="toplevel" should be usemap="#toplevel"

I use IE 6. No image map for me. Most likely due to the img src having an /
at the end.
Since img src has no closure tag, don't put one into it.
I've used maps before and never had a problem with them working in IE.

Replace it with the real thing, links.

Is this a game, or a Web page? If the latter, stop playing with colored
rings with no explanations.

You probably don't mean this, do you?

Looks like this in Firebird, Opera7, Netscape7.

Oddly, it looks nothing like that using Firebird, Opera, Moz 1.5 or NS7
here. Must be a difference between a Windows and Linux implementation (by
the looks of your screenshot)

'Twas Win2K Sp4, all browser windows about 800px wide. In fact, if I
maximize the windows (1024x768), the content text jumps up the right-hand
side of that menu, which stays in the same position near the 800px
location. In Opera 7.20:

Since three browsers display this the same, and other sites work ok, I
can't see where the OS is the cause, as it does work ok in IE6. <shrug>

This is most odd as NS7 (linux) displays the page fine. Opera 7.20 shows
the problem, but that's the only browser I can get it to fail on.

Ah! You see it, too. Good. <g> There's nothing wrong with my PC.

Once you solve the problem, let us know what causes it.

Just the OS ;-p

Thanks. Now to get it to validate...
