I tried the # in usemap, and that appeared to make the link active. However
it was still not.
Your question of WHY I was trying to use an image map is an excellent one.
Being a newbie, I forgot that I can embed IMG in an A tag. I seem to have
forgotten a few things along the way after reading through the entire DTD.
I edited per your suggestion and it works great. Thanks very much!
