Embed an Interactive Map Can't Post

I am trying to install an interactive map on the http://www.guernseycattle.com website --- which uses AM2.

I've created anchors in the article http://guernseycattle.com/artman/publish/article_314.php and have inserted a Flash map created with iMap Builder.

It seems to work, but with one problem. When you click on a section of the map and are taken to the relevant anchor, it opens a new page, in a new browser window. And the new page, in the new window, does not seem to have the interactive map.

I'm surprised I got as far as I did. Wink

Can someone please help me to figure out what I need to change? I'd like folks to be able to click on a sector of the map, and simply be taken the appropriate place on the single webpage --- instead of having a new browser window open up.

If this isn't possible, is it possible to have the new browser still show the interactive map?

Thanks for your help with this. I appreciate it very much.

Hi Craig,

Hmm, I'm not familiar with that script, so I don't really have any input on what would make it work or not ... although I thought I'd mention that in IE, it doesn't appear to show up at all, and in Firefox clicking on the map didn't do anything.

I wonder if there's some other way to do this?

In Firefox the map shows up (at least when I try it) and it's clickable, but when you go to the next page the map is gone (and the next page opens in a new browser window):

http://guernseycattle.com/artman/publish/article_314.php/#HCS

Map shows up in Safari, but does not show up in Internet Explorer.

I am simply trying to do a simple map where people can click on a region and it will take them to the anchor/bookmark below. Is there a better way of doing this in AM2?

Thanks,

Craig

This isn't a solution, just an idea.

Could you get the main map from somewhere like http://maps.google.co.uk and then with that image, add your own links?

Not as good as what you're trying to do, but might work.
