Image Map duplication error

I have a curious problem with image maps. Whenever they are
placed in the top of the page, in a table, they are duplicated and
offset in the bottom of the page and vice versa. If I draw an IM
for example in the bottom of the page there is a hot spot created
with the same link in the top of the page in the first table row.
If I delete the unwanted hot spot (duplicate) it removes the
wanted IM.
If I delete the image in the bottom table it seems that when
I added a Flash button the top IM then had no problem. In Photoshop
there are no maps in the image.
Is this due to a #div container, padding, floats, or
something ?
Here is the map code;
<map name="Map" id="Map"><area shape="rect"
coords="48,137,293,167" href="../color/index.html" target="_top"
alt="blah"
onclick="MM_nbGroup('down','group1','navBarRLink02','',1)"
onmouseover="MM_nbGroup('over','navBarRLink02','images/cmO_02.jpg','',1)"
onmouseout="MM_nbGroup('out')" /><area shape="rect"

onclick="MM_nbGroup('down','group1','navBarRLink02','',1)"
onmouseover="MM_nbGroup('over','navBarRLink02','images/stillsO_02.jpg','',1)"
onmouseout="MM_nbGroup('out')" />
<area shape="rect" coords="246,16,344,40"

Your narrative is too vague to follow. Sorry.

AS3 Image Map Linking Issue - No compiler errors

Hello,
I've made an image map in Flash using AS3, however it does not seem to be working properly.
The links only work in a strange succession. In order to click all the links you must first click the last link followed by the first link, then the second link. After that the image map behaves as it is supposed to. I'm not sure why this is happening.
It complies without error and aside from the little quirk mentioned above, it works beautifully.
I've checked and double checked the AS, even copied and pasted some code from one button to another to see if it would make a difference, but to no avail.
I am using the code listed below:
[quote]
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink1);
function callLink1 (event: MouseEvent) :void {
     var url:String = ("http://www.google.com");
     var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url);
     try
         navigateToURL (request, "_parent");
         catch (e:Error) {
             trace ("Error occurred!");
[/quote]
Any and all help would be much appreciated, thank you!

I'd second Dan's last point, there is really not enough information here to help identify the actual problem.
What I would suggest is that you put everything into one event handler so perhaps that might simplify working on it..something like:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
function callLink(event: MouseEvent):void {
    var url:String;
    switch (event.target) {
        case button1 :
            url="http://www.google.com";
            break;
        case button2 :
            url="http://www.yahoo.com";
            break;
        case button3 :
            url="http://forums.adobe.com/thread/417263?tstart=0";
            break;
        default :
            url="http://www.adobe.com";
            break;
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url);
    try {
        navigateToURL(request, "_parent");
    } catch (e:Error) {
        trace("Error occurred!");
If you have everything set up in one listener function like that it may be easier to debug and maintain.

Image maps error with IE 6

Hallo!
I have a problem with Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP) and only 2 image maps with rollovers on a page with a total of 6 image maps.
This is the page:
http://www.eqmultimedia.it/paolobisi/home_2009f.html
Everything is OK on Mac OS X (Safari and Firefox) and IE 7 on Windows XP and Vista.
ONLY the 2 image maps named "ART FOR SALE" and "CONTACT" do not work with IE 6.
This is my workflow:
- Page design in Photoshop.
- Slices, image maps, rollovers and remote rollovers with ImageReady
- Save html page and images folder from ImageReady
- Import html page and images folder in Golive CS
- Check and correct ALL the links in the image-map code generated with ImageReady
- Export site from Golive (with Flatten Script Library) and FTP transfer on Unix server.
I suspect that the image-map code is not FULLY loaded by IE6 and for this reason only 2 image maps on the page do not works.
Any suggestion will be very appreciated.
Thank you and sorry for my English!

Image Map not working in Dreamweaver CC

I'm trying to create an image map over a jpeg but when I try to draw a rectangle over the image, a grey stroke gets placed over the image then moves with the cursor.
Here is the only code on the page. Any ideas as to why this isn't working?
<img src="/SampleImage.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="2779" style="margin: 5px; width: 649px; height: 2000px;"/>

Let me see if I have this right...
1. From Design View, you are clicking your image to select it
2. You are then selecting the Rectangle tool from the bottom left of the Properties window
3. You are then clicking and dragging on the image in Design View to create your map area
4. DW puts a grey line around the image and moves it instead of adding the image map and area tags?
Run your page for code errors at http://validator.w3.org. I can't duplicate what you describe and DW will do strange things when code errors are present, it could be an error DW doesn't know how to fix that's causing the normal image map functionality to fail.
If you have clean code and are doing what I list above and it's still not working, it may be time to clear the program cache:Deleting a corrupted cache file

Images and image maps do not respond to events on Safari

Hello everyone,
We have been experiencing issues with events not responding to images associated with image maps, on Safari browser. After the DOM is loaded with new image and corresponding image maps, events such as mouseover and click observing this divs do not respond or get triggered. DOM seems to be updated correctly but behaves differently (and it works correctly in all other browsers except Safari).
This behaviour is only noticed in Safari browser running both on Windows and Mac. (Tested on Safari Version 3.1.1 on running on Windows and Mac)
For you all to have a closer look at this issue, I have created a sample that has this problem, similar to one we experienced during one of our recent projects. Please click on the link below to get to the sample (I recommend you to try this either in Firefox or IE before you do on Safari)
http://www.hivegroup.com/safari/test.html
(In the above sample,
- the javascript code initializes the DOM with image and image map
- assigns two event listeners to the div containing this image and image map
- when mouse pointer brought over the image, it shows the area id in the 'mobox' div
- when clicked, DOM is updated with a new image and new corresponding image map, assigns new event listeners and should continue with the same kinda behaviour it did for the first image (but doesn't in Safari browser))
All inputs on this issue are welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Shashi.

Let me explain what the pink area is. Like the first image that contains two white boxes, the pink area (as you call it) is a new image (containing four pink areas or boxes having an area id denoted to each) that imgDiv occupies after the 'click' event occurs.
Yep, i gathered that from seeing it work on firefox...
The point that I'm trying to make here is, there shouldn't be any difference in behaviour when imgDiv holds first image (two white boxes) or the second image (four pink boxes) that you get after we click on image or the third image (containing 6 boxes, multiple colors) which you won't be able to reach in safari browser.
well... I can reach them, but only via the blue space.
. We'll notice change in the red box displaying target id only when we mouse over a new area that is not currently being displayed in the red box.
except in webkit for safari 2, where thered bpx content sticks at whatever it was when the first image was clicked, unless mouse is moved to the 'all area', and then it sticks on imgdiv.
I completely understand what you see in safari 2. But are you saying there's some error in my script ? If so could you please point out and justify.
I dunno Shashi, just pointing out the errors that Safari 2 reports when I view your test page, in the hope it might help. I know little of javascript

I can't see my image map

I made an image map that I need to edit. For some reason when I take live view off the image disappears, and without being able to see it I can't edit the image map. Is there a way in cs6 to do this? Why can't I see the image??
http://granthoneymoon.com/faith_boosters.html is the sample site with the image map.

You can fix your file names in DW from the Files window. When you change the name there to replace spaces with hyphens or underscores, DW will ask if you'd like it to automatically update the links. Hit "yes" it saves a lot of find & replace time.
Generally speaking it's best to use all lowercase alpha numeric names, avoid any special characters like $%& and use hyphens or underscores instead of spaces for all of your web files/folders.
Lowercase: Because many servers are case sensitive so AboutMe.html is a separate file from aboutme.html. On your local OS, a link to the uppercase version will give you the lower case page, on the server it will throw a 404 File Not Found error in most cases.
Special Characters: Many special characters have special meaning in html, css, javascript or other coding languages used online. Throwing one in your file names can cause scripts to malfunction, among other problems.
Spaces: As Nancy mentioned, it's invalid and can cause broken links in certain browsers. IIRC, FireFox is especially susceptible to spaces causing broken links.

Spry XML and image map

Hi all-
I'm new to using spry and xml, but not new to xhtml and layout, having said that. I'm trying to store file paths in my xml and parse that xml to repace <href> tags in an image map. For example (the actual cooridnates in the map are just made up for the example below, the actual map has 88 locations and very detailed coordinates, as it is a state map):
<head>
<script src="../SpryAssets/xpath.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("../files/research/counties_census.xml", "ohio");
</head>
<body>
<div spry:region="ds1">
<img src="../images/CountyMap.gif" width="565" height="611" usemap="#Map">
        <map id="Map" name="Map">
          <area shape="rect" coords="103,156,155,202" href="../files/research/{Location}" />
          <area shape="rect" coords="216,156,286,210" href="../files/research/{OtherLocation}" />
        </map>
</div>
</body>
Am I just making a syntax error or is this just outside the scope of what I can use spry for? Any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance

I have one more question. What you gave me worked like a charm btw. Thanks a lot. Onto the question:
I'd like to use the same XML to also power a drop down menu, here's a snippet of the XML/XHTML below. I can't seem to get it to work on the drop down, the image map works great.

Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?

Have you added the target files as baggage?

Image map bug in RH7

Hi,
I've noticed that sometimes after I create a rectangle over
an area in the image, the rectangle is not visible. To see the
rectangle, I save the topic. Close and re-open the topic. Now, I
can see the rectangle, and assign a link, add a screen tip, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
FMnRH

Good review, David. Thanks for the analysis!

Image Map percentage in FW CS6

Hi,
I would like to create Image Map from Fireworks, but instead of pixels, is it possible to use percentage ?
I use FW CS6, so I assume this option has been made available already ?
Otherwise, in a general manner, is it possible to use percentage at all in an HTML export ?
Jos

This sounds like the same problem that I have recently been having with FW CS5:
If I try to edit an exiting text entry, the program allows it -- but as soon as I move the cursor out of the text area, it reverts back to the original, saying that the 'file is locked'.
I also get an error message saying an "internal error" has taken place in the program. Then, when I close the program, I get the following error message:
I have been using this version of FW for several years (it's an authentic, registered copy), but the problem began in just the last few weeks. The only changes that I've made to my system in the last little while are the regular WIndows 7 updates. (Could there be a connection?)
I've tried reinstalling the program, but the problem is still there.
If you find how to solve your problem, can you post how you fixed it?
Thanks.

Image maps using Adobe Muse 3.2

I want to know if is possible create image maps (many links in just one image) usign Adobe Muse 3.2. I use transparent rectangles to this feature, but i wonder if there is a better way. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for responding and for your input! This is the website:
http://www.professionaldiets.com
When I UPLOAD TO FTP HOST I receive an error message (below) " /httpdocs does not appear to point to site http://www.professionaldiets.com " even though that's the folder I uploaded to using my previous Web Designing Software. So I select "Ignore" and it publishes the website. It sporadically screws up the placement of the photos. Some of the photos that belong on "Before & After Photos" page end up above the wrong person's testimonial on the "Contest Before & After Photos" page. Also, I have to design the layout with some of the photos on top of their testimonials in Muse to be placed closer to correctly when Published. I've tried renaming the jpegs, renaming the pages... Nothing works!
The photos aren't on the "Master Page" because I don't want them on every page.

Image Map Bug in Dreamweaver CS4

I've included a video sample of Dreamweaver's inability to
draw polygonal hotspots in Design view on an image map. The image
is inside an absolutely positioned div tag. After clicking the
first corner, the drawing tool is deactivated. A second click to
create the next corner point selects the underlying image.
In this video sample, I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a MacBook
Pro with a 2.4 GHz Intel processor and OS X 10.5.6. The image is
actually a transparent PNG. I'm very careful to click on an opaque
area, but that shouldn't make a difference.
The workaround is to open the image in a blank HTML file,
create the polygonal hotspots there and then copy and paste the
code back into the original HTML page. Adobe should really consider
fixing this.
The video can be viewed here:

Can I use an Image Map to link to an SLP

I am working on a project starting with the Desktop Catalog with Homepage layout, and have created 4 additional generic SLPs. I added an image to the homepage slp and would like to use an image map to link to the 4 generic slps that I created. But I get an error when running the site and clicking on any of the image map links. Clicking on the link opens a new window with a "This program cannot display the webpage". At times I have gotten a script error when clicking the link rather than the This program... message, but I cant seem to replicate that at the moment.
I am able to do a simple hyperlink on the image to an slp, but this, of course, only gives me the ability to link to one of my additional pages....
Any ideas?
John

I did finally figure this out... it is possible to map to an slp file from an image map... the trick has to do with how slp files work in RH,and makes sense, sort of, once I got it to work. When you generate html5, htm files are generated fromthe slps.
When you link to an slp file in a regular hyperlink, during the generation of the site, RH translates the slp refernce to the htm file reference that is generated from the slp. But for some reason, i.e., a bug IMHO, with an image map, when you link to an slp file, RH does not convert this slp reference to the .htm reference (as it does with normal, non-image map hyperlinks.
So the way to get this to work, is when you create the image map link, put in the htm file name that will be created during generation.

Creat a client-side image map in JSC

Has anyone sucessfully created and implemented a client-side image map in JSC? I can get it to compile but it falls over on execution with a 500 error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: No tag "map" defined in tag library associated with uri "http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
We apologize for the late response. We would like to know if you have found a solution for the problem. In case you are still looking for a solution we would like to look into the issue and try and provide a solution.
Thanks

RH8 image map problem

I created an image map back in RoboHelp 6 and it worked perfectly. When I converted my project recently to RoboHelp 8, the image map pop-ups are not working correctly. I've checked the properties of the image map and they are correct. But the pop-up boxes do not display correctly. I'm going to attached an example of how the same one displays in RH6 and RH8 and a screen shot of my settings.
Can anyone help me with this?

After much trial and error testing around this image map issue, I cannot seem to find a fix for image maps within RoboHelp 8. No matter what I've tried (and it was a lot), nothing seems to fix the image map problem. Even creating a new image map on a new page with totally different info, pop up pages, image, etc. and turning OFF all breadcrumbs - the image map does not display correctly once generated (nor in preview).
I have found a VERY TEDIOUS workaround for this (that I'm not happy about). If I take my original pop-up topic htm pages (9 of them) from my RoboHelp 6 project and the original eHlpDhtm.js file from RH6 and place them in my output Help file from RH8 (overwriting the RH8 with the RH6 files), then the image map works correctly.
The eHlpDhtm.js file has many more scripts in it than just the image map triggers, so I'm not sure what all else I'm affecting when I'm fixing one problem (i.e. not sure how many more problems I'm creating at the same time when fixing one problem.)
It's almost like the "breadcrumbs" feature in RH8 has broken the image maps feature in RH8.
I'm still up for more suggestions as how to fix this if anyone has any ideas.
