I can't see my maps

Please always reply to the entire list, not just to one person.  The
first person to answer might not have all the answers, and they might
not have time to take on all your follow-up questions personally <g>.

As I said earlier, look at the generated HTML you're viewing.  What is
the URL in the <img> tag where the map is supposed to be?  Does it look
like you expect?  If not, change the IMAGEURL to fix it.

Hi Ed,

I get a grey screen which changes to a paler grey if I click in the map
window. However, if I click in the map window, i get a message that 'c
is not a registered protocol'. There is also a message saying 'This is
the Map'.  I seem to be happily creating .png files in each time I
refresh the page, but still can't see the map. 

Can I just check with you what the IMAGEURL should point to?  I have
currently have it pointing to the workshop directory.
