Image Mapping a Top Banner, Not sure how to get this to work Options

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

This layout is my first attempt at a top banner: myspace.com/crimsonskylayouttests

Problem is when I try to image map it. I'm not sure how to go about it for MySpace, as I've only ever image mapped for Xanga.

Here's the code part for the banner:

CODE

<div id="BannerUnderTopNav" style="position:absolute; z-index:2; margin-left:-353px; top: 187px; background-color:transparent; background-image: url(http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii142/CrimsonSkyGraphics/MySpace_Layouts/SpreadYourWings/SpreadYourWings_BannerwBorder.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position:  bottom center; width:800px; height:446px; overflow:auto;}"></div>

Here's my Image Map Source:

CODE

<img name="SpreadYourWings_BannerwBorder20" src="SpreadYourWings_BannerwBorder.jpg" width="800" height="446" border="0" usemap="#SpreadYourWings_BannerwBorder2" alt="" />

<map name="SpreadYourWings_BannerwBorder">
<area shape="rect" coords="450,401,523,430" href="[url="http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=invite.addfriend_verify&friendID=XXXXXXXX"]http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=invite.addfriend_verify&friendID=XXXXXXXX[/url]" target="_self" alt="Add to Friends">
<area shape="rect" coords="536,400,677,429" href="[url="http://messaging.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=mail.message&friendID=XXXXXXXX&MyToken=6217bd42-165c-4541-a07c-59061d333fcf"]http://messaging.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=mail.message&friendID=XXXXXXXX&MyToken=6217bd42-165c-4541-a07c-59061d333fcf[/url]" target="_self" alt="Send Me a Message">
<area shape="rect" coords="691,399,785,428" href="[url="http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=block.blockUser&userID=XXXXXXXX"]http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=block.blockUser&userID=XXXXXXXX[/url]" target="_self" alt="Block User">
</map>

Using the code for the top banner, how would I get it to use the map? Everytime I try adding the "usemap" command it disappears when I save it. x_X

Help anyone?

Imagemapping is no longer used for HTML/CSS to my knowledge. You are better off slicing images. You can learn about it here:

Really? o_O I still use it for Xanga layouts I make. Hm. Interesting. Am I just behind in the times? <.<

Anyway, thanks for the tutorial. I'll check that out. ^_^

If anyone else DOES know how to do this with mapping, please let me know.

Xanga allows pound symbols, so of course. However, the version of Myspace you're using doesn't allow them so no. I don't think you'd find anyone who knows a working method. Sorry. You're better off using TJ's tutorial.

Aw, okay. I didn't realize it was different since it was MySpace. That'll explain why it kept deleting the code when I'd enter it.

Thanks, then. ^_^

No problem. I'm assuming your problem's solved, so I'll go ahead and close this. PM me if you need it reopened.
