Hello,
I'm trying to create a relatively simple web site but I've been stuck at the first post already! Basically I'm trying to image map the top banner with links but I've been unable to get this working. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong and I've been editing it and refreshing for days now! If anyone can spot the problem in my code it'd be much appreciated:
Thanks in advance
Ciaran.

Thanks in advance

I used GIMP to generate that code and it still doesn't work. Dreamweaver will produce the same code as the <map></map> conventions will be the same.

Dreamweaver is not all, secondly is not for free and installing trial version for such banality is silly
Code is OK, however you should swap name attribute for id attribute in start of map tag
<map name="map"> , as id attribute is required where name is just optional. Do not forget to add links to locations where to go after mouse click as these are currently not set href="http://TBA" . If you not sure what you doing you can have look at w3schools example on this topic Learn to see in another's calamity the ills which you should avoid.

Thanks for the response Peter. I'm not a fan of Dreamweaver either. It's too much money and too difficult for the little web dev I'm doing.
I've just discovered the problem. The co-ordinates are all wrong. I'll just have to manually work them out as GIMP's in-built mapping is obviously wrecked.
Thanks for the help.
Ciaran.
