I've created image maps for a top and bottom navigation bar on each of my web pages, just using Dreamweaver 'hot spots' -- no javascript, etc. They all work fine in FF, but in IE7, only some pages work on the top navigation, and the bottom ones don't work on any pages at all. The 'services.html' page doesn't work at all, top or bottom.

Is this a bug in IE7, or am I doing something wrong? I've checked the error console in FF, but it shows nothing wrong (and like I said, works perfectly). The W3 validator also seems to indicate everything is okay.

My site is at www.brandhalo.co.uk

Any of you techies out there can help a newbie? Is this a workaround situation?

Cheers
James

Solved it!

usemap= needs a # before the name. This doesn't seem to be a requirement in FF, but IE7 needs to see it. Adding this # cured the problem straight away.

I'm having a similar problem. Just the very edge of the hot spot works sometimes. On rare occasions the whoe map works. Most of the time, it doesn't work at all.

Here's the code

<map name="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="26,365,215,416" href="images/Aboutpg.jpg" target="_parent" alt="About Jerusalem Foods">
<area shape="rect" coords="25,586,216,638" href="images/Contactpg.jpg" target="_parent" alt="Contact Jerusalem Foods">
</map>

do you see anything wrong?

I am new to this. So go easy
