I see where Hugh said it's working now, I guess you got the map
fixed.

I don't know a lot about JavaScript, I try and avoid it at my
sites since it's very prone to errors and doesn't always work
as it should on all browsers.

The problem with FF is it may require numerous extensions to
get it work on one PC the way it does on others.  If a certain
webpage works ok on someone else's PC but not yours, then they
probably have an extension installed that you don't.

The problem with those type error reports is "line 220" for it,
could be line 100 or 300 in Notepad or whatever else you use,
so it's very hard to track them down.  Run the page through an
HTML validator and it will point out the exact line by
highlighting it in the report.  What you could do now, is
search the HTML code for 'form' and make sure every instance of
<form> also has a </form> somewhere below it after the form
ends.  Hmm, BTW, on my PC I show the error at "line 70,
character 2, null is null or not an object".  Also, I go back
to the page and there's no error.  This usually indicates it is
indeed a error on that dynamically generated content by
Geocities.

Also these Geocities sites are trash.  NOT to say YOUR page is,
just Geocities themselves because they add all this dynamically
generated crap in the form of popups, ad banners, and hidden
tracking codes that destroy a webpage.  There are probably very
few Geocities webpages that don't have errors on them, and 80%
of the errors are due to Geocities themselves, and there's
nothing you can do about that....except find another host.  I'd
first try and determine if the error is something in your end,
or theirs.  Sometimes these HTML validators won't even parse
the host's generated garbage, so that would only help in your
case if after you check the page you don't see any errors.
Then you know it's Geocities.

     Near the bottom is a map of Europe. In IE when you run
your mouse over
the map the cursor turns into a hand if I have turned that
country into a
link. In Firefox the cursor turns into a hand over the whole
picture not
just for individual countries. It works in MyIE2 and it works
in the Wal
Mart connect browser.

Error: syntax error
Source File: http://www.geocities.com/vizzy98/mywebpage1.htm
Line: 220
Source Code:
<form>

the Java console gives me the above message, whatever that
means. All I can
see is that the opening "form" is in lower case and the closing
"/FORM" is
in caps. Is that meaningful?
