Should I have just sliced it with that one small area it's own slice then

That would work.

A hotspot *is* an image map. The way it works is the image says "use this
map" and the map says "I'm here!". In your case, the image is saying usemap
"#m_financialsuccess_r3_c3.jpg" and the map is saying NOTHING since it has a
src attribute (invalid - how did that get there?) instead of the required
name attribute (check your O'Reilly reference).

Wait a minute - you have this -

td colspan="2"><img
src="http://www.fonicdesign.com/T3/images/financialsuccess_r3_c3.jpg"
width="300" height="100" alt="" border="0"
usemap="#m_financialsuccess_r3_c3.jpg" alt=""></td

then this -

map src="financialsuccess_r3_c3.jpg"><area shape="rect"
coords="33,13,263,89" href="http://www.libbibosworth.com" target="_blank"
alt=""
/map

It would work now, if the image could find the map - but your map has no
name (and it has a src attribute which is pretty weird). But why use a
map
at all? And why have you sliced the image up like you have?

It couldn't possibly. The image map has no name.

Instead of writing manually, most of the graphics designers use auto-generated
html for their sliced and hotspotted images because it's really easy.
Actually, it's easy in DW also. But I guess, we should keep it as a secret

Yes. And it's a mistake to do it that way, too....
