Usemap Function

Hi there,

I have used hotspots in my website to link to bookmarks in another page but when I go to the HTML when I need to change or add a small part it just says usemap="orgchart.asp#FPMap0

My image is called orgchart.asp so I understand that, I thought that the # meant it was linking to a bookmark but I cannot find where it has stored the HTML data for the hotspots. Where can I find FPMap0

I don't want to have to redo all the current hotspots, I just want to add a few more and change one existing one. Any ideas? The Frontpage help doesn't even recognise the usemap function so that was really useless.

Thanks in advance for any help

Karen
 
Look at all the code in FP

Typically
<map name="FPMap0">
<area href="somepage.htm#somebookmark" shape="rect" coords="50, 6, 93, 19">
</map>
<img src="imagename.gif" height="20" width="170" alt="" title="" usemap="#FPMap0">

The usemap="#FPMap0" is telling the browser to use the image map defined in the tag
<map name="FPMap0">, and the actual hyperlink is in the <area ..> tag

Somewhere in your page you have or had an image map

If you just have the image w/ a single link in a cell you shouldn't be using an image map

Code should just be

<td width="901" align="center" height="493"><a href="page.asp#bookmark">
<img border="0" src="../../../../images/Compaq/Who's%20Who/MSCOrgChart.gif"></a></td>

Post a URL if the page is published

PS
Remove all spaces from file and folder names
So you won't get the %20 (replaces spaces) and broken links like in Who's%20Who




| Thanks for the reply Stefan but unfortunately there is no "area" ref anywhere in the code at all. Below is the piece of code I am
refering to:
|
| <td width="901" align="center" height="493"><img border="0" src="../../../../images/Compaq/Who's%20Who/MSCOrgChart.gif"
usemap="orgchart.asp#FPMap0"></td>
|
| There are no co-ordinates either, I am assuming that they are all part of the map.
|
| I am using FP2002.
|
| Thanks
