We have an image using a Map to hotspot for links. This works perfect
on PCs but on a Apple Mac, it does not. We want to know why our Image
Mapping does not work. Here is the current HTML Code:

<IMG HIDEFOCUS SRC="http://www.buyologic.com/new/projects/23/mperrybig.jpg"
border="0" usemap="#Map">
<MAP NAME="map">

<AREA SHAPE="Polygon" COORDS="93, 34, 129, 111, 190, 88, 153, 20, 96,
48" HREF="http://www.buyologic.com/new/viewer/click.asp?type=matts
head&sel=http%3A%2F%2Fus%2Eimdb%2Ecom%2FName%3FPerry%2C%2BMatthew"
target="g_area">

<AREA SHAPE="Polygon" COORDS="16, 131, 75, 229, 229, 227, 236, 89, 20,

Hello buyoguru,

Have you tried changing the capital name of the image usemap to
lowercase to match the map name?

usemap=#map

I have noticed this causes problems in older versions of Netscape and
thought this may be a possibility.

Let me know if it works -

Thanks,
SgtCory

sgtcory is correct.

Change the code to    usemap="#map"   and it should work fine.

I encountered the same trouble when using Mac IE and someone's site. 
Making the case of "map" consistent fixed the problem.
