Re: Image Map<try this one>

Something strange is going on here. :)  The alt tags DO display for me and
I'm using IE5.5.  I checked "TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS/ADVANCED and under
ACCESSIBILITY
> there is an option to "always expand ALT text for images"."  and found
that it is NOT checked and yet the alt tags do indeed display when I move
the mouse over the various parts of the image map.  Go figure...

Take care.......  -=JKB=-
