Image Map Question? - Help with Img Map in <table>

Here's my problem...
I have an image map in a table, and I keep getting a blank space between the row the image map ends and where the next row begins. When I take the map out and just have the image, the space is gone. Code looks something like this:
<TR>
<TD>
<IMAGE MAP HERE>
</MAP>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>
etc....

The blank space appears right after the image map on the web page and I cannot have any space between the 2 rows. I spent almost an hour trying to figure out why this happens, but no luck... If anyone has any suggestions please email [email protected] Thanks!

<dajo17> Keep the IMG tag on the same line as the TD tags and do not leave any blank spaces between the two.

<table>
<tr>
<td><img src="" usemap"#MAPNAME"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Then place the MAP tag outside of the table. This tag can be anywhere in your document, you do no need to place it besdie the image you are using.

<map name="MAPNAME">
<area shape="" coords="" href="">
</map>

Thanks for the tip... it worked! I was under the impression that the code for the map had to be placed with the image, where it should appear in the document. Thanks again. D.W.

I haven't played around much with the MAP tag and I was wondering what programs you guys use to define your regions? I have only created rectangles in the past and would like to find a shareware/freeware program that can create any shape you require.

Well I use Dreamweaver for it, but you easiyl use Paint Shop Pro to find the clocations and then code them yourself...

I've been using Global Scapes freeware image mapper Cute Map. You can get it @ http://www.globalscape.net. Coffee Cup also has a good image map, but it's shareware. http://www.coffeecup.com.
