Map names 1

[tseh]

I created an image map. I assigned names to each shape so that a tip should appear when it has focus. Unfortunately, the tip shows up on half of the shapes. The syntax is identical for each shape. What else can I do to make the rest of the tips appear?<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>TSEH

try using the ALT='...' instead of NAME='...' <p>theEclipse<br><a href=mailto:eclipse_web@hotmail.com>eclipse_web@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=robacarp.webjump.com>robacarp.webjump.com</a><br>**-Trying to build a documentation of a Javascript DOM, crossbrowser, of course.

I am currently using ALT='..' with limited success. Any other suggestions?

ALT is right.<br><br>Do you have this problem with the same map areas each time?&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, perhaps:<br>* you have some minor syntax error in these.<br>* you've accidentally defined the map areas so they overlap.&nbsp;&nbsp;In this case the browser only recognises the most recently-defined of the mapped areas.<br>* they might even be too small for browser to resolve.<br><br>If the problem occurs with different areas each time, are you waiting long enough for the name to appear?&nbsp;&nbsp;I find it takes up to a second (which seems like an age).<br><br>
