I've tried to follow the directions on Lissa's image map page, but I'm running into some problems. I put both the code for the image and the code for the map inside the body tag, one after the other, and the image shows up fine, but there are no linked areas ANYWHERE on the page. I mean, you'd think that if I got the coordinates wrong at least something would show up linked, right? But that's not the case. The image that I'm trying to image map is here: http://www.farbeitfromme.com/blogger/imagemaptest.html. This is the code that I have in my page


<img src="hatlayout.gif" usemap="#mymap" width="884" height="902" border="0">

<map name="mymap">
<area shape="rect" coords="16,255,30,308" href="me.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="32,262,44,358" href="links.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="46,270,59,428" href="graphics.html">
<area shape="rect" coords="62,280,77,484" href="fanlistings.html">
</map>



I would use CuteMap but my trial period has run out. So am I doing something really stupid here? HELLLLP!

Your coords are wrong...if you hover over the right side of the 'joined FLs' box/text the links are down there....

If you don't have an image program like Photoshop or PSP (which will do image mapping), you could download this screen ruler (http://www.microfox.com/) to help find the right coordinates.

Thanks so much, Starlet, I just had the order the coords were supposed to be in flipped around. Never done an image map before, whew! Can you do me a favor and check to see if the links are showing up linked on your computer? I want to make sure it's not just me.

And I do have PSP7, but how you do image mapping with it? I just hover over the points on the image to find the coordinates, I didn't know you could get any more advanced with it.

Yup thats right/working now :) in psp have the image open then go to file > export > image mapper.

*kisses your feet* Thank you both so much, you have no idea how much easier this has made my life. Do you mind if I post a tutorial about this over at Livejournal at the PSP7_beginners community? I'd give you guys (and the forum) credit for introducing me to the idea.
