I created an image map in Fireworks with rollovers as a navigation bar--When exporting Fireworks saves the map as an html and a gif file--When I insert the html file into Front Page, the image appears but no rollovers or links are active--What am I missing?
Thanks
 
Have you tried viewing the resulting page in a browser or in FP Preview? The FP editor (in design view) does not process javascripts, and so you would not be able to view things such as mouseovers etc.

I've been doing similar things myself with FP2000, and have had no problems with mouseovers produced from Fireworks.
 
Yes I have viewed the page in IE--previewed from Fireworks it works--Previewed from Front Page in IE the mouseovers do not work--the white box with the X comes up on mouseover as if the mouseover images are not there--but Fireworks does it all when you export right? There are 5 images for each image--I inserted the htm file into the web page--any other ideas?
 
If a broken image is coming up when the mouse moves over it in IE, then the problem is that the images are not in the location that is specified - are all of the images in the same directory as the html file?

After exporting the HTML and images from fireworks, open the exported HTML file into IE and see if it works (it should).

When you insert the exported HTML into the webpage, did you move the generated images into an 'images' directory (or similar) - if so then there is the problem: FPage will update the links for the standard images, but can't update the javascript for the mouseovers. If this is the problem, then you will need to edit the HTML code: find the javascript that handles the mouseover images, and check all the paths are correct.
