I set up an image, then mapped various areas on it. Now, when I go back into Image Mapper, it does not find the map. I get a box:

"An image for that image map was not found
Please verify your html file."

web site is www.raputtak.com, if that is of any use.

Oh, and I did all the Add Files stuff in VSD.
I have an inferiority complex - but it is not a very good one.

Have you moved the image to a different location in the meantime?

By image do you mean the .html file of the original .jpg file?

Should they be in the _website folder or the files folder in VSD?

I tried just now because I hadn't used Image mapper for a long time.

When you add an image map to VSD, you add first the html code that has been created, afterwards you add the actual image. They go into the whatever_web folder, not into the files folder. If you want to edit the image map, you open the html file with the code.

BTW, when I tried this right now and wanted to close the prog (Image mapper), I got the alert 'Do you want to save this map file?' to which I replied Yes, although I had already saved it. The alert came up again with the same question, I clicked Yes again, and this went on and on ad nauseam until I got fed up and clicked No. Does this happen to you too?

It does the same thing for me.:/
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I contacted Scott about it, and they know about the issue. He said that on the positive side, they wanted us to ve really really really sure that the project is saved ;)
