RE: Button refuses to be linked

Linda,

Moving my mouse cursor over the right-hand part of the buttom image
briefly indicated a linked hot spot (I'm using Internet Explorer 5). I
think the problem is the shape of the image map rectangle:
coords="1,2,107,19".

Because you are only wanting to link the single image, however, I would
recommend simply doing away with an image map and just use a regular
link.  Something like this should work:

<A href="http://www.allaboardcruisescorp.com/testimonials.htm"><img
src="allimages/testimonialsbtn2.gif" width="109" height="21" border="0"
alt="Cruise Testimonials"></A>

You might also want to increase the defined height of your table cell to
match your image height (right now you have <td height="18"> and the
buttom image shows a height of 21).

Hope that helps.
