Hi all,
On one of our web applications, an image is created dynamically. On this image the user can hover the mouse over some parts of the picture to get certain information, and can then click on these same annotations to edit them. In order to do this, I create an image map along with the image. The image map has onMouseOver and onClick properties for the image.
The problem is that the image map for this picture can get quite large, and when it gets too large it drives internet explorer nuts. In one example, the image map alone is 1.5 MB of information, and when internet explorer tries to open it the browser will not show the image, the buttons go haywire (i.e. radio buttons are replaced by j's), and after closing the browser, windows will act weird (such as right-click menus coming up all black) until I restart the computer.
I have tried to run the app on a few different computers, all with the same symptoms. I can run it in Netscape 7.0, but cannot get it to run in IE.
Does anyone know why IE does this?
