Custom Nav Bar as Sliced Image

My blog (a webcomic using WordPress with ComicPress) needs a nice image to be used to navigate the comics. We made an image with first, previous, next, and latest buttons on it. I tried using hotspots on the image in conjunction with the php functions previous_post() and next_post() but had no luck.

I figured it would be easier to just slice up the image and associate the correct image with the functions. Unfortunately I’m still having trouble, maybe because the images are inside a table?

Here’s what I see when I implement this: https://www.2pstart.com/images/navprob.JPG

As you can see, the two images that I linked to the php functions just don’t show up, and there are no links at all associated with the images. Here’s the code I placed in the header.php file after the comic image:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="374">
<!-- fwtable fwsrc="Untitled" fwbase="navbar1.jpg" fwstyle="Dreamweaver" fwdocid = "742308039" fwnested="0" -->

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
