FPSE Image Maps Incorrect with Include Page Component

ID: Q251201

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions

SYMPTOMS

When an Include page contains image maps with the same name, the Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions (FPSE) do not ensure uniqueness of these image map names. This causes hotspots to be incorrect.

CAUSE

For HTML preservation reasons, Front Page 2000 changed the way image maps are handled. Vanilla image maps are now written out rather than wrapped within an image map bot. Due to compatibility reasons, Microsoft changed the naming scheme for these client-generated image maps (from "FrontPageMap[number]" to "FPMap[number]"). The Server Extensions are rewriting the "FrontPageMap" form, but not the "FPMap" form. They should be rewriting both.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Office 2000 service Release that contains this fix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information on support costs, please go to the following address on the World Wide Web:
