The following passes the test as valid, and the mouseover for the six
indicated areas also work.
I need various areas to link to another page, including the six
mentioned.
However either the MAP works by itself, or the below mouseover works,
but not both.
Would someone be kind as to lend some help?

Here are the URLs that show only one (MAP or onMouseOver) works, and

If anyone can tell me how to get both to work, i would appreciate it. http://oil4lessllc.com/omy2.htm http://oil4lessllc.com/sw4.htm

You are supposed to post the code somewhere on the WWW. There are
several reasons:
1. The code that you posted has images, and we do not have the images.
2. You copy and pasted the code from editor to your news client, it is
possible there was an error.
3. When you put the code up on the WWW, we can see exactly what it is
doing, or not doing.

No visible difference, but the result worked.

Rollover block/effect is a piece of your page that changes its
appearance depending on if the moise pointer over it or not. (Could be
a better wording, but clear enough I hope).
In your sample these are Roman letters as you may guess.

Mr. Baer, copy-n-paste may work only if the person has some, even the
most wague idea of *what* is he copying and pasting. Otherwise it will
be a continuous chain of disappointments then two perfectly working
codes are totalling into one non working - as it is right now.

It is indeed above of that one could regularly expect from a public
newsgroup. His code does work - your code looks the same but it
doesn't. So take both and study them until the latest smallest
difference will be totally clear to you. Do not ask for each point "why
did you place here > or + or - ?". This is a wrong approach. Google
instead for the tag or attribute where you see a change. Find out
everything about this tag or attribute. Make several copies of the
working sample and play with it until you feel yourselve comfortable.

There are a few reasons to do this:
1. If you don't, then every person who might consider helping you
would need to take the time to put it into a page on their
server. Since you're already relying on the kindness of others
to investigate your problem, it's in your self-interest to make
it as easy for them to do so as possible.
2. Code snippets posted in an article are often found to be missing
relevant parts (DOCTYPEs, for example).
3. Code snippets posted in an article often end up being different
from the real code, despite the best cut-and-paste in the world.
4. Sometimes, things such as images or style sheets are relevant.
They wouldn't be included in a post.
5. Sometimes, problems aren't with the html itself, but with file
permissions or server configuration. These can only be detected
by seeing the page in its native environment.

I must admit that everything you said is correct, with one minor
exception.
When i did that copy & paste the result did not work, *but* when i
over-typed the copied section, it did work and verified good.
Hell, the working example that Martyr2 gave presented some problems:
one save was via File/ SaveAs and another save was RightClick/
ViewPageSource/ Edit/ SelectAll/ Copy/ Paste to notebook & save.
Both versions worked, but DOS FC said there were a number of
differences; and *no* differences were visible!
Oh, even that they looked absolutely identical, one was 1K larger
(one cluster; could have been a difference of as little as one character).
It is that kind of crap that makes it very difficult to know what is
really going on.

Thanks for the info, but one does not need to put an HTML "page" on a
server to see how it works.
I have done all development and testing locally on a single-user
computer, off line.
So, that has been the native environment for developing all "pages"
that i have actually wound up using online in a website.
When i saw certain things not working, i knew the coding was in error
somehow, and it seemed to me tha posting the code as i had, would allow
someone reading it to see "oh, you messed up here" etc.
And up until i did the posting, that seemed to be the MO.
And what i had included were not "snippets", they were complete
copies of what i had been working on.
However, there *has* been a copy problem - apparently invisible
characters get embedded - the result looks exactly like the original,
but causes, at minimum, validation errors.
I have taken one such file and hand over-typed the area in question;
the result looked absolutely identical - but was valid!
So taking the validated HTML and FTP it to a site appears to
eliminate that crap, making things easier on both sides of the "fence".
I sure would like to know what exatly is causing that barfing...

I ignored nothing.
Somehow you missed that i accepted the code and used it sucessfully,
and even asked how wording should be to indicate where the help came from.
As far as thinking my statement "one does not need to put an HTML
page on a server" being seen as stubborn, i think you missed that i was
stating a fact learned from experience.
And i believe i mentioned that all HTML code (good, bad, whatever)
was developed on a off-line computer and tested to be at least working
(albeit it may have massive errors).
In this particular case, the final, validated code can be seen at: http://oil4lessllc.com/StripperWells.htm

It is indeed above of that one could regularly expect from a public
newsgroup. His code does work - your code looks the same but it
doesn't. So take both and study them until the latest smallest
difference will be totally clear to you. Do not ask for each point "why
did you place here > or + or - ?". This is a wrong approach. Google
instead for the tag or attribute where you see a change. Find out
everything about this tag or attribute. Make several copies of the
working sample and play with it until you feel yourselve comfortable.
Come back for more help - but only after the above stage is
accomplished.

If you are in a time frame and/or on narrow funds, you have to use some
higher level authoring software with error control and a set of
scriptable widgets (another term you may want to remember).
You can download then a 30-day trial copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver:

No, i cannot download a file that size; i am on POTS and even
download managers do not cope with the line problems here.
Anything over about 2Megs is a problem.
How can i get a CD?

I am so far from being an expert, that there is no term other than
"ignorant dummy".
If you cannot test an HTML page on your computer, then that is your
problem.

I just realized that Dreamweaver 8 is out of use to you any way as it
requires Windows 2000 or higher.
I'm affraid that the ancient art to write fully functional features
rich applications within 1Mb or less has been lost longest time ago:
about the same time as MS-DOS went out of use :-)
By the way: MS-DOS FileCompare (FC) utilite is useless for HTML
comparison unless you are using it with the keys /L /C /W (compare as
ASCII, ignore case, ignore white space differences). In HTML case is
not significant and white spaces collapse, so say
<P> Paragraph </P>
<p> Paragraph </p>
means the same.
If you can cope with 1.6Mb download you can get an ancient but good
enough editor Arachnophilia 4.0 by Paul Lutus:
<http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/index_old.html>
You may also enjoy reading its free CareWare license (the only one of
its kind I guess): <http://www.arachnoid.com/careware/index.html>

Wow; only 1.6Mbytes - tolerable.
I run three OSes, different drive for each - and Win2K is the one
where i do all my "fancy" work: LTspice, Ivex WinBoard, Nerd, Hexcel,
web page development, etc.
Thanks!

Just for the Halibut (fishy reasons), i opened the HTML in Nerd, and
futzed around to try to get it to look similar to what one sees online.
Well, it was not possible, and the resulting HTML code generated by
Nerd was an order of magniture larger than before (so what else can one
expect from M$?).
And to add insult to that injury, there were 107 errors (i had
started with a "mere" 22 erors).
WordPerfect X3 was harder to deal with looks.
The only "good" thing was that there were only 2 errors flagged.
I guess the moral is to never use a tool for a different function,
and never expect decent conversions from internal native form to exernal
foreign forms.
