Or are you are asking just how to map an image that you are going to use for a background?

>.< You can't do that. If you were to use the image as a background, the kind of background you put into the background image box in CLAF for Xanga, you cannot specify for it to read an image map, so you can't map it. Am I not making sense?
However, if you were to position everything over the image, you would be able to point the image to an image map, therefore... You can image map it. From my POV, you're asking for the first one, which is why I said it defeats the purpose of mapping.

mrvegas did not specify whether it was xanga or not. I know for a fact that if you put them in seperate DIV tags and one DIV tag is like your "Background" it works because I've done it...I'm not pulling this out of no where. I get what you are saying though but I meant that you make it *look* like your background, but it doesn't have the same coding...it's the IMG coding in a DIV tag. Does that make sense?

...I did it on my site...and it worked. I have my own webspace. It depends on what you are doing this for...You MUST put them in seperate DIV tags though [if that wasn't made clear enough already!]
