client side image maps

[C Gillespie]

Dear All,

I have an image map that works perfectly in firefox, but not IE can anyone
help?

The code I use is below.

Thanks for any help

Colin

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
function species(xpath) {
document.form1. xpath.value = xpath;
document.form1. action="/demo/editor/modSpecie.spy";
document.form1. submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

<form name="form1" method="post" action='#'>

<IMG SRC="/demo/graphs/09794069.gif" USEMAP=#mainmap >
<MAP NAME="mainmap">
<area shape="rect" href="Javascrip t:species(&apos ;//sbml:species[1]&apos;)"
title="Y1" alt="Y1" coords="244,53, 316,101">

</map>
</form>

Does it work prefectly when JavaScript is disabled?

Language is deprecated, use type="text/javascript" instead.

There's no child of form1 called xpath in your HTML.
Is this snippet incomplete?

Would you call a mechanic and say "My car isn't working. What should I do?"
without giving him anything more specific to go on than "isn't working"?

I apologise, in my haste to simply things, I went overboard. Try again.
Here is my code. Any help welcome.

Oh, and it works it with Opera and when I disable Javascript IE still
doesn't work.

Thanks

Colin

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function species(xpath){
document.form1. xpath.value = xpath;
document.form1. action="/demo/editor/modSpecie.spy";
document.form1. submit();
}
function reaction(xpath) {
document.form1. xpath.value = xpath;
document.form1. action="/demo/editor/modReaction.spy ";
document.form1. submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

<form name="form1" method="post" action='#'>
<input type="hidden" name="xpath" value="None">
</form>

<IMG SRC="/demo/graphs/86306461.gif" USEMAP=#mainmap >
<MAP NAME="mainmap">
<area shape="rect"
href="Javascrip t:species(&apos ;//sbml:species[1]&apos;)" title="Y2" alt="Y2"
coords="253,90, 325,138">
<area shape="rect"
href="Javascrip t:reaction(&apo s;//sbml:reaction[1]&apos;)" title="Y1"

Are you saying that it works when you disable JavaScript in Opera (I
don't believe you), or that it doesn't work in when you disable
JavaScript in IE (I believe you).

What you have done will not work, ever, in any browser, if JavaScript
is disabled. Hence it is not suitable for deployment on the WWW.

Why the &apos;? What is the value that you want to pass to the server?
Is it
&apos;//sbml:species[1]&apos;
or
'//sbml:species[1]'
or
//sbml:species[1]

In each of the above cases your code should read:
species('&apos;//sbml:species[1]&apos;')
species('\'//sbml:species[1]\'')
species('//sbml:species[1]')

I'd recommend that further JavaScript questions are asked in
comp.lang.javas cript.

You still haven't said what "doesn't work" means. It ignores your
click? You get an error within the code? It does something else you
didn't expect? Have you tried troubleshooting at all?
