Image Map not working in FireFox

jcfullbr · Feb 4, 2009

The following image map works in IE, but in firefox my cursor treats it like hyperlinks, but at the bottom of the screen it says ".../message file"

Code:

<html>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<img src="nav.jpg" alt=Navigation Image Map" style="border-style: none" usemap="#toc" />
<map name="toc" id="toc">
<area href="message file" target="content" shape="default" />
<area target="content" shape="rect" coords="14, 80, 121, 115" href="initialcontent.html" />
</map>
</body>
</html>

All of the other forums/sites suggested adding the name="toc" after <map, but that didn't fix it.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Jeremy

Well basically this:

Code:

<area href="message file" target="content" shape="default" />

Is not a valid location. Regardless, it actually works but covers your entire map since you have no dimensions defined.
Move your mouse around your map and the link will be "message file"

So your entire map is reduced to being a link to "message file" which of course is not a valid location.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
