HTML Help (Image Mapping)

I need help. I'm trying to image map a navigation bar for my sig and it doesn't seem to work. For the sake of this post, I'm going to disable HTML so you can see what's wrong. This is the exact code I am using. The problem I have can be seen in the next post.

The problem is that my forums only allows specific html tags to be used. This is to prevent someone from entering html that would destroy the formatting of the forum page (outside of the user's signature, or intended target). So only the following html tags are parsed as html: b, i, u, pre, img, a, href. Any other tags such as "map" and "area" that you have above, will simply get encoded as characters to be displayed.

Try doing what you did with the BB Code except in HTML and add the border attribute to all of them...

if you have any experience using flash, you could make it with that (if the board will accept it that is)

Man. My plans for that were royally screwed over then.

No image mapping, no embedding, no simple "image that goes to here" links.

I think the BBCode one is fine, I like the "border" lines on your navibar, I didnt know it was wasnt supposed to be there. It already has the illusion of one picture.

Yeah...it just looked cleaner if it were just one image.

Oh well. No biggie. This one's fine.

One more little correction, put the [/size] right before your text.

for example:

[size] blah blah images

[/size]i <3 dd3mon 4ever

this will eliminate the space before your last image..

play around with it if you want to have a space under the image.. like

[size] blah blah images

[/size]
i <3 dd3mon

trial and error should get the job done, but the extra spacing is due to the font size, and zero font size will give you no spaces. the line AFTER the image matters too though.

Err, I'm still seeing a space after the second set of images... Firefox 1.5.0.4 here

That's really odd because it worked fine in dd3mon's original post...
