LUGers,
I am not an expect in HTML, but used to write COBAL, Fortran, etc. years ago. Question: Have you validated your code at http://validator.w3.org/ ? Also is your code generic and usable by all web browsers? With the big push to get out of Bill Gates' pockets, other web browsers have gained popularity. But the browser wars still persist. So please make your code as generic as possible. Some of these automated code witting programs (Frontpage, Dreamweaver,...) add a lot of trash to their code which puts additional burden on servers.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
The image which I should have explained is a background picture of some buttons. Overlaid in floating text are names on the buttons, then over those hotspot frames. Sounds complicated but I was trying to make it easily updateable by adding different text to the buttons in the future. The problem seems to be in the text coordinates, which work on my browser but not on the server. So to get round this I edited the image and combined the text and background then overlaid the hotspots in the usual manner. That worked around the need for the webbot. In future I will just have to go back and re edit the image which I saved in separate components before exporting to gif.
Thanks for your help.
Bob

Bob,
unless the server has front page extensions, the webbot code is ignored.
This code works:
<IMG SRC="your picture" USEMAP="#FPMap0" ALT="what ever text " BORDER=0>
<map name="FPMap0"> <area
href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bondbeetham/beetham/index.htm " shape="rect" coords="18, 33, 189, 71">
<area
href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bondbeetham/bond/index.htm"; shape="rect" coords="19, 91, 188, 128">
<area
href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bondbeetham/wear/index.htm"; shape="rect" coords="19, 148, 188, 185">
</map>
Where "your picture" is the image you want to use. The key is
USEMAP="#FPMap0".
The map information <map></map> can be anywhere in the file, I normally
include
it at the end.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried the missing line you suggested but all I got was a duplication of the image above the image already showing (tried in frontpage). The image is referenced in the webbot section (see below). I was wondering if this could be the problem and that rootsweb don't accept this type of code. Any thoughts?
