email link on hotspot

I am working in Dreamweaver 8

I am trying to create an email link from a hotspot.

I select the area for the hotspot,
I then click Insert,
I then click email link,
then I type in, mailto:name@address.com in the top text box,
and then I type in name@address.com in the box below it named : email.

It creates an email link but on the bottom of the page instead of on the hotspot.

Can anyone tell me how to do this so that the hotspot is an email link?

I am working in Dreamweaver 8.

I am selecting a graphic that the word "Contact" is on.

This opens the properties below.

I am then selecting the rectangular hotspot and drawing it around the graphic word "Contact".

When I do this on other hotspots (on the same graphic page), I go to the code and insert a web address (herf= http://www.address.com) or I click on "link" in the properties section and insert the address of another page within the site.

Now, in the case of making an email link on one of these Hotspots (Contact), I need to know what code or procedure that I need to have that Hotspot link to an email address.

Can anyone help?

hi CSUjr

I've tried and I did the same thing as You did
but e-mail link is doing pretty well, and on the same graphic I've made another hotspot with link on another page....Working!

Here's the part of code in DW8...

<map name="Image2Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="38,72,175,121" href="mailto:moondog@blabla.com" target="_blank">
<area shape="circle" coords="304,90,52"
href="moondog.html" target="_blank">

So, when You want to make an e-mail link, do not use command INSERT!
Simply write in hotspot link text - mailto:name@address.com .
The e-mail link won't appear at the bottom. It appears exactly on place of hotspot. Try this.
