How do I implement client-side imagemaps?
Client-side imagemaps do not require the presence of a server-side script in order to interpret the coordinates of the “hot” regions of your multi-clickable image. The client-side imagemap is more efficient than the server-side imagemap and it allows the visitor to see the actual URL associated with the mapped regions in the status bar of their web browser. 1.Download a mapping program to create a map file based on the desired image. The map file will contain the coordinates of each clickable region. We recommend MapEdit (PC), but other imagemapping tools may also be available. 2.Map out the hotspots using one of these programs and select the map file format “Client-side imagemap” as opposed to NCSA or CERN (for server-side maps) prior to saving the file. Here is sample client-side map file created using MapEdit:
