Sounds like the page requested is not in the same level as the current page. No need for a server, this can work off your local drive just find. Try either /filename.html or an absolute path C:\myWebs\mypage.htm. DeZiner

When the gears stop turning,
we all stop learning.

Well I have tried that before but didn't worked,contiue show the path file:/// next to the absolute path (c:///C:\myWebs\mypage.htm).realy I tried all but doesn't work yet.Do you have any idea why?

Thanks

there should be no problem with viewing the page form file so my guess is deziner is right and you have your reference wrong. have you tried specifying the path to the new page from the page you have the map on like this...

imagine you have a page with an image map on in 'folder 1' and the page you link to in 'folder 2'. both folder 1 and 2 are inside 'folder A'...

your href would then be

href="../folder2/mypage.html"

the ../ is used to go up one level in the directorey structure.

hope this helps you get it sorted.
