I'm beating my head against the wall on this one and have only received one
Invisible Element Marker Won't Go Away
That post includes a detailed explanation and links, including a screen
shot. If I can't figure it out soon, I'll probably just go back and recreate
the page from scratch, because the problem only appeared after most of the
work was done. The problem showed up after I did some changes to the code,
for future readability. If I redo the page, I may just forget about future
readability.
Thanks.

OK, here it is again.
I have a Client-side image map visible marker that won't go away. In
preferences, it doesn't matter if "Client-side image map" is checked or
unchecked under "Invisible elements". The D@#n thing won't go away. Under
"View > Visual Aids" I checked "Hide All" and the D@#n thing won't go
away.
The page is now just a header image, that includes a polygon hotspot around
part of the image, all placed inside in an absolute positioned layer. A
rollover menu overlays the banner layer. Everything was fine, until I made
Some manual changes to the code, for future readability. Now I can't find
the culprit.
Here is the URL for the test page that is giving me the problem in DW:
http://www.actionamerica.org/duh/index.html
Here is the upper left corner of what I see in my Dreamweaver window:
http://www.actionamerica.org/duh/dw-csim.jpg
Note the little yellow marker just below the bottom left of the banner and
the line below it, that indicates that the layer has expanded.
Thanks in advance. I know that someone must have the answer.

Sorry. I use VIEW | Visual Aids, along with the Invisible Elements category
in Preferences, and it handles those nasty critters for me.
But, I have to say - as image maps go, this one should be written in upper
case!
<img name="indexp7h" src="images/indexh.jpg" width="780" height="119"
border="0" usemap="#m_indexp7h">
<map name="m_indexp7h">
<area shape="poly"
coords="48,6,60,6,60,19,80,14,97,14,101,9,116,6,134,5,140,14,199,14,204,20,1
98,32,207,35,204,41,255,41,258,47,252,62,246,66,29,66,27,62,53,39,20,39,18,3
6,48,6" href="http://www.ActionAmerica.org/index.html" alt="Action America
Home">
</map>
(any chance that's an errant C/R between border="0" and usemap?

SOLVED!
That wasn't it Murray, but it was real close. Your C/R comment got me to
thinking, so I went back and made the whole thing one big long line, in the
source.
It turns out that it wasn't my readability mods that caused it, but a change
that I had made at about the same time. DW put a C/R here:
... usemap="#m_indexp7h">
<map name=...
When I remove that C/R, as such:
... usemap="#indexhMap"><map name=...
The icon goes away. Add the C/R back and it comes back. Weird, huh???!!!
Thanks for the mental jump start. Life is now good again.

Try cutting the <map>blah blah blah blah</map> tag and pasting it
directly after the opening <body> tag
