Put your map definition in the body of the page - between the <body> </body> tags.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

get rid of the pointless "no right click" script before you ask for help with a problem. Guessing at the source or having to use the other ways round it is not condusive to any of us bothering.

Says the guy who's links didn't work in Internet Explorer.
Have a coconut.

For the record, it's good form to post the solution here when you've fixed it so that others may benefit. Was it something to do with the absolute positioning?

The sad thing about the script is that it doesn't even stop the R-Click menu in FF! (Not that I want a different 750K image as a forced download on every page I visit [smile]

No its that Internet Exploer dont like to view the HTML tag stuff like:
<map name="utw">
<area shape="rect" coords="184,160,226,169" a href="index.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="241,160,292,169" a href="/roster.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="304,160,352,169" a href="/forum">
<area shape="rect" coords="365,160,415,169" a href="/events.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="428,160,491,169" a href="/matches.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="501,160,568,169" a href="/sponsors.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="580,160,646,169" a href="/calendar.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="662,160,702,169" a href="/links.html">

well it does help when you get the syntax correct

Code: 
<area shape="rect" coords="662,160,702,169" href="/links.html">

note the lack of the "a" before "href"

theonlymab,

A few suggestions for improvement to your site:

- Choose what standards you want to write to (I suggest XHTML 1.1 Strict), put a complete and valid DOCTYPE in, and validate your page for compliane (don't forget to validate your CSS, too).

- Remove all the outdated, deprecated, and IE-only attributes in favour of CSS.

- Use classes and IDs, and move some of your inline styles into a style sheet (style element, or linked in CSS).

- Get rid of the no-right-click script. It takes extra bytes & time to download, and is not effective (can easily be bypassed, anyone with an ounce of nous will be able to bypass it, steal all your content, and distribute it for free. Muhahaha).

Hmm... I thought it was very clear what I meant. Your code has a lot of old, outdated, and browser specific code. A few examples of these from your code are font elements, and the link, vlink, and text attributes on the body element. These can (and should) be replaced with neat, compact CSS.

Your should really try to keep a DOCTYPE in, and fix the resulting problems with the element positioning. I think it would be a definite learning curve - which can only be a good thing. Read up on XHTML and consider switching to it. You'll be better off for it, I think.
