I have had a re-jig of my site � have a problem though.

If you go to www.allianceandgeneral.com everything works okay.

However if you go onto one of our other sites which have redirection on them, the links don't work: www.aagf.co.uk


I thought this may have to do with base href, but have changed that and it seems to make no difference. It works fine in Firefox, just won't work in Internet explorer.

Any ideas gratefully received?

Strange one this, but I'd say it was something to do with cross frame security. And the funny looking code that MS Office has put in for the image maps... something to do with VML?

Personally, I'm not a fan of using image maps as hrefs but I see why you're using them... I'll have a look more into this VML malarkey.

p.s. you don't really have just one eye do you? It took me months of reading your username to stop pronouncing it :

Riiiight.... it looks as though the code is using VML for IE (seeing as IE is the only browser to support VML) and image maps for the other browsers.

What I would recommend is just using the image map code as this would work in IE and the other browsers. VML is proprietary.

I'm not sure why they would use 2 different methods with exactly the same outcome, but if using Frontpage or the like to do this, god only knows what it puts under the hood.

Cheers good people
Some of your links work with mozzila firefox but they dont work with IE.
Also when i was in the contact us section the page looked a bit messy.
