    Hi,
    is there any issue with alt in netscape? I have posted this before, but have a more definite insight into the problem so thought this justified a new post.

    According to

    http://www.willcam.com/cmat/html/other.html

    the coords keyword should be "co-ords"

    I am using "coords" which appears to work in IE but not netscape. Using "co-ords" fails in both browsers. Some sample source below:

    Help appreciated, as usual.

    <IMG SRC="maps/readymix scot map with circles.jpg" USEMAP="#readymixscotmapwithcircles" BORDER=0><MAP NAME="readymixscotmapwithcircles"><AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="210,145,224,155" HREF="contact_details.asp?pid=1&til=278" ALT="Inverness"></map>

    Lenin.

    that should work OK

    I've just tried this in IE 5 and Netscape4.6 and it works fine:

    Code:
    <IMG SRC="flags.gif" USEMAP="#flags" BORDER=0>
    <map name="flags">
    <area shape="rect" href="" 
       coords="48,46,204,153" alt="click here!">
    <area shape="rect" href="" 
       coords="0,66,26,227" alt="click here!">
    </map>
    Mark
