html firefox imagemap help

[ArchAnGeL]

Why does this not work in firefox but does in ie?

firefox when hovering over the click point doesn't show the share name gbmcppfs001 in the link on the bottom bar

thx

<DIV ALIGN=left>

<MAP NAME="map1">

<AREA
	 HREF="\\gbmcppfs001\traffordpark$\Trafford Site IMS Manual\main.htm" ALT="Trafford Park" TITLE="Trafford Park"
	 SHAPE=CIRCLE COORDS="264,192,6">

</MAP>

<IMG SRC="map.jpg"
   ALT="map of GH site" 
   USEMAP="#map1"><BR>


</DIV>

ok , I can look at that but would it explain it because if I change the link to something within the folder i.e. main.htm it works in FF.

So will re-writing it change the way it handles the share name?

Worked it out. Nothing to do with the imagemap in the end

Linking to network shares is turned off in firefox by default. To get round that I used a UNC path

file://///servername/share/file.ext

as described here

Thanks for the help with the code though. I will change to that
