What needs to be different in the code below to work in Netscape? Thanks for
any help.

<IMG border="0" src="hands1.jpg" usemap="#FPMap0"
STYLE="position:absolute;top:86px;left:60px;" ID="mainimage" width="596"
height="458">

<div id="button" STYLE="position: absolute; top: 86; left: 10; width: 48;
height: 17"
onmouseover="text.style.zIndex=change2; mainimage.style.zIndex=change1"
onmouseout="text.style.zIndex=change1; mainimage.style.zIndex=change2"
width="70" height="25">
<p align="center"><font color="#0000FF">
Help</font>
</div>
<p>
<div id="home" STYLE="position: absolute; top: 116; left: 10; width: 48;
height: 17">
<p align="center"><font color="#0000FF">
<a href="http://cnn.com">Home</a></font>
</div>

Funny, I never noticed that this was a netscape newsgroup. Oh look it's
not.

Despite being a MSIE 5.5 only newsgroup, I have yet to find a cross-platform
MSIE 4-5.5 and Netscape 4-6 newsgroup covering CSS.  I think it's pretty
unrealistic to ignore cross-platform issues.
 
So instead of giving a sarcastic answer, maybe just say you don't know.
 
I suggest using a tool like TopStyle 2.0 to get a cross section of CSS tags
that work in different browser combinations.  I believe absolute positioning
isn't one of them.

I agree. If someone wants to broadcast their ignorance to the world, there's
no need to insult someone who's only looking for help.

As to Willie's problem--you need to specify a unit for your measurements.
"top:116; left:10; width:48; height:17" should be "top:116px; left:10px;
width:48px; height:17px". IE's disturbing disregard for the CSS specs makes
cross-browser development much harder unless you develop for Netscape and
tweak it for IE rather than develop for IE and try to make it work for NS.

Also, NS4 (but not NS6) has trouble with inline styles, so instead of
defining the style in the tag's style attribute, you should either move the
style to the <head> section of the page or link to an external style sheet
with #id and #home selectors.

Cross-platform newsgroup covering CSS:
news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.sytlesheets
NS-specific CSS newsgroup:
snews://secnews.netscape.com/netscape.public.dev.css

Ya know, I dunno why the hell some people so annoyed about someone asking a
simple question.

YES, it IS an IE55 group, but so what??? Can't a guy ask a simple question
without stupid remarks like this?

Gawd.

Thanks for all the replies. And Steve and Glen, I'm going to try out your
suggestions.
