Unlike imagemaps that depend on the server for their processing, client-side imagemaps require no CGI scripting in order to work. With client-side imagemaps, the “hot spots” that users click to jump to new locations are specified in your HTML coding instead. You would use the tag, which is supported in the HTML 3.2 draft specifications, to embed a map file, and tags to define each hot spot’s shape and attributes. Client-side imagemaps, therefore, provide a good solution for content developers who don’t have the time or readily available access to resources for implementing imagemaps. The client-side approach also frees designers from needing access to their site’s cgi-bin directory, where interactive scripts are usually stored; depending on your company’s security concerns, those access privileges may be granted to only a few users or just to the site’s administrators. The catch is that not all browsers support client-side imagemaps, so they won’t work if your visitors are
