EMERGENCY: Img map help!!!

[rgordon83]

hey,

Just screwqed up one of my LP's in fire fox...

I updated my design layout that i bought from someone and all i did was change the "coords" of the img map in HTML from what the original coder did.

Now it doesn't work in Firefox. Nothing even happens when i roll over the image.

Works fine in IE. Here is what i have:

<img src="images/free_samp.jpg" alt="blah blah blah" width="894" height="513" border="0" usemap="#Map">
<map name="Map"><area shape="rect" coords="637,367,794,400" href="join_free.php" alt="Gblah blah blah" title="blah blah blah Now!">
</map>

Also i see no onmouseover action. Just an alt

Edit: Never mind. I didn't read thoroughly enough.

OK, so it seems like i can only click the VERY bottom of my image, but in IE i can click the whole thing. are "cords" diff in firefox than IE?

Dude. REALLY?! Image maps are so fucking 1999.

I'd say lose the map homes.

sorry got a bit distracted. Your image map coords are a bit off. If you wanted to do a rollover (like change the button color) you either have to splice up the image and then do a onmouseover= in the img tag(recommended) or rollover the entire image. There's lots of free image map programs you can downoad to redo the coordinates but I would seriously just splice up the image.

Alternatives:

1) Learn Flash
2) Learn CSS
3) Obtain Dreamweaver
4) If you're too broke/lazy to get dreamweaver, download NVU. It's free.
5) Pay someone to do this shit for you.


The map is WAY more trouble than it's worth unless you're converting 99% on it and .99% without it.
