Hi, I have an image map mixed in with php, and it won't click when I click the mouse on it, it won't work. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Derek

here is the code where I use it.

if(isset($_GET['newLocation']))
{
  $_SESSION['current_location']=$_GET['newLocation'];
}

if(!isset($_SESSION['current_location']) && !isset($_SESSION['current_background']) && !isset($_SESSION['currentMonster']))
{
  $_SESSION['current_location'] = 0;
  $_SESSION['current_monster'] = 0;
   $_SESSION['current_background'] = 0;
}

if($_SESSION['current_location'] != 0) {
  if(!isset($_SESSION['current_background']) && !isset($_SESSION['current_monster']))
  {
     $_SESSION['current_monster'] = 0;
     $_SESSION['current_background'] = 0;
  }

  if(isset($_GET['further']))
  {   //below is- inside the locations array, teardrop ocean (1) the background image is 4(example)+1 is set, then
     //do this
     if(isset($locations[$_SESSION['current_location']]['background_images'][$_SESSION['current_background']+1])) {
        $_SESSION['current_background']+=1;
     }
     if(isset($locations[$_SESSION['current_location']]['monster_images'][$_SESSION['current_monster']+1])) {
        $_SESSION['current_monster']+=1;
     }
  }
  elseif(isset($_GET['back']))
  {
     if(isset($locations[$_SESSION['current_location']]['background_images'][$_SESSION['current_background']-1])) {
        $_SESSION['current_background']-=1;
     }
     if(isset($locations[$_SESSION['current_location']]['monster_images'][$_SESSION['current_monster']-1])) {
        $_SESSION['current_monster']-=1;
     }
  }

  // I dont have any $_SESSION['background'] var
  //$currentBackground=$_SESSION['background'][$_SESSION['current_background']];
 
  $currentBackground = $locations[$_SESSION['current_location']]['background_images'][$_SESSION['current_background']];
 
  //I dont have any $_SESSION['monster'] var
  //$currentMonster=$_SESSION['monster'][$_SESSION['current_monster']];
 
  $currentMonster=$locations[$_SESSION['current_location']]['monster_images'][$_SESSION['current_monster']];
 
} else {
  //?newLocation=1 means set it to Teardrop ocean.
  $currentBackground = '
     <img src="aradia.jpg" width="256" height="328" border="0" usemap="#Map" />
     <map name="Map" id="Map">
          <area shape="rect" coords="5,176,81,249" href="?newLocation=1"/>
     </map>';
  $currentMonster = '';
}

try to specify full url. Now you have href="?newLocation=1".
Change it to href="scriptname.php?newLocation=1" or something like that.

Thanks. It didn't work though. I think my problem might be with the z indexing of my divs but I thought I already messed around with that. Thanks for looking for me though.

Nevermind I got it to work. It had to do with the z indexing of my overlapping divs. thanks. Derek
