OnMouseOver in Image Map - Post ID...

I bought Image Mapper this morning just for one feature I like, and I can't get it to work on an existing map. I just want hover text to appear over the different regions, and Dreamweaver doesn't give me an easy way to do that. My problem has two parts.

1. I open my existing map from http://www.rane.com/where.htm. My original working map has 16 regions, all visible and editable in Dreamweaver, but Image Mapper only shows three of them: Marshank, Pro Tech, and Marketing Concepts. I've compared the region code from the non-loading areas to the loading areas and don't see the difference. How can I get Image Mapper to recognize all the existing regions?

2. The browser preview in Image Mapper works right with the name showing on hover. I thought I could at least learn the code that Image Mapper is putting in for the MouseOver Text to work (in Area Properties). It adds the code "OnMouseOver="window.status='Marshank'; return true" OnMouseOut="window.status=''; return true". But when I put this in Dreamweaver and upload, nothing happens. Is there a conflict with my current behavior that opens the panels below?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I get a 404 error for that link Jeff. Can you confirm the URL.

Sounds like Dreamweaver is modifying the markup. How does it work if you upload instead with an FTP client?

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
