Some Image Maps Do Not Work with IIS

 Last reviewed: April 29, 1997
Article ID: Q149112

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Information Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

Some image map files may not work well with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) version 1.0 because of the syntax used for creating the map files.

CAUSE

IIS uses the CERN specifications for image maps. Map files that use the following syntax may work on other World Wide Web (WWW) servers but may not function well on IIS: 

   default file.htm
   file1.htm rect (0,1) (170,53)
   file2.htm rect (264,26) (349,53)
   file3.htm rect (187,23) (264,53)
The correct syntax for the above map data is: 

   default file.htm
   rect (0,1) (170,53) file1.htm
   rect (264,26) (349,53) file2.htm
   rect (187,23) (264,53) file3.htm
NOTE: The rectangle range specifications occur prior to the destination HTML file. For more information on creating image maps for use with IIS, see Knowledge Base article number Q146573.

RESOLUTION

Obtain the fix mentioned below.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information Server version 1.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
