If you hover over the numbers and look in the status bar at the bottom you'll see they're all trying to link to #. In the code you have a load of lines like so <a href="oil/1.jpg" rel="lightbox[oil]" title="Self Portrait"><area shape="rect" coords="-20,-11,23,18" href="#"> The href in the link bit is for the picture but there's another href in the area which is just #. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

It could probably be hacked to do it but I don't have the time right now. If you can hang on for a couple of hours or so, I have a client site to upload and some food to eat before I pass out, then I'll take a look. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

It seems to be because you have to break the map code up and it doesn't like it. The only way you'll get it to work is to break the image map up into individual images. Replace the <area> tags with <img> tags and don't forget to stick the closing tag for the hyperlink </a> back on the end of each line. Either that or completely rewrite the javascript to use the DOM ismap and I don't have a spare week to do it. < Message edited by jaybee -- 3/8/2007 16:01:06 > _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

That's what I was going to suggest before I fell asleep at the keyboard last night (this is what happens when you lounge around on the sofa on a laptop - you wake up in the early hours of the morning wondering why your legs are a bit warm and why you can see pretty rotating patterns - note to self - change screensaver to something a bit less psychodelic ) _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to jaybee)
