   Hello, I'm pretty new to WordPress, this is my problem.

   I'm trying to insert an Flash/XML US Map on a WordPress page.
   I was provided all the files, modified the XML file to list the correct colors, text and links. The links in this case will be within the page to anchors below.

   Next I modified the SWF so it could locate the XML data.
   I've tested all of this outside of WP first, and it all works on a regular HTML webpage.

   I've pasted the HTML into my WP page, and updated it. The map generates and all the text and colors work, but the links don't do anything, it's as if I removed the url so the map is just a mouseover graphic.

   Does WP not like XML links?
   Do I need to add something to my PHP files?

   I've searched all the other forum and looked for plug-ins but doesn't seem to be anything out there. If anyone has any questions just ask.

   Wp may not like how the links are done..... how are the links/anchors coded?

   relative links would probably be an issue....

   Here is a sample of the codes. Even if I were to use 'http://www.google.com' as a link it still doesn't work.

   I did at one point try using iframes just as a test to see if it worked, and it did but I couldn't get the links to target the _parent window.

   XML
   <usmap name="California" code="CA" extra="Click Here" url="#CA" />
   I've tried variation of the url as well using the whole domain url.

   WP
   <a name="CA"></a>California
