Hello!

I have set a Frames page on my website. My Navigator frame works fine. The
imagemap i have for my contents page is not functioning at all. I've tried
everything. The cursor does not recognise any of the links.

Please help. The page is : http://www.musicapp.com/BandsIndex1Frameset.html

do you mean the topframe?
there is NO imagemap there-
<img src="Newspaper%20mainpage(JPEG)BandsIndexBanner.jpg" width="868"
height="246">

that's ALL that's in that frame.

Click on the image to select it.
Create the imagemap using the property inspector.

And- some suggestions:

Don't leave the default imagemap name of "Map"
Change it in the top left of the Property Inspector to some other single
word.

Don't use graphic text. File size is much larger than html text. It can't
be "read" by search engines. It's not text- it's a graphic.

Don't use blank spaces or punctuation in filenames.
It will come back to bite you with bad links problems you'll pull your hair
out over. Best to use a conservative file naming convention such as only
lowercase a-->z and 0-->9 and the _underscore.

Please go back and read the replies to your first thread. Don't keep
re-posting the same question.
