Cannot edit my imagemaps in Frontpage anymore

[Jenn]

I'm having a crazy problem. I have a web page with a large map on it, and
various dots on the map representing properties. each dot is an image map
which links to a page about that property in greater detail.

I have been messing around trying to figure out how to get the individual
image maps on the image to display text when moused-over. I finally got that
to work, but somehow in the process created a different problem. In
Frontpage, I can't "see" the image maps on the image to edit them. They're
there - I can see them in the HTML - and I can make edits in the HTML - but I
can't see the image map outlines in the design view.

Here is the page in question. I've looked over the code and just cannot
figure out why they won't show up in the design view. I've had several
people here at work open it up in Frontpage just to make sure that it's not
my computer, and it's an issue with everyone.

You only have one image map. This contains several hotspots. Hotspots do
not show in design view unless you click on the image containing them. What
happens if you click the Highlight Hotspots button on the picture toolbar?

Thank you for the correction - yes, earlier when I wrote image maps I meant
hotspots. I have one image with a number of hotspots. Sorry if that was
confusing.

When I click on the Highlight Hotspots button, my image completely whites
out - it becomes white with nothing highlighted. When I click on Restore, my
image re-appears, but I still can't see the hotspots in the design view.
They are there in the code and there in the preview and when I publish they
are active links, I just can't see them in the design view.

Post a link to the page with the hot spot image online
- sounds like you created a conflicting set of hot spots

In Code view, look through the <area tags. About 10 above the </map> there
is a stray <p> tag. Delete this and the hotspots appear.

FYI, you are using XHTML markup without any <!doctype, and <tr
bordercolor="0"> should be <tr>
Either add a XHTML <!doctype, or change all the /> to >. The XHTML markup
is not a problem in today's browsers, but may cause problems in tomorrow's
without the correct <!doctype>
