How do you do an image map?

You can use MapIt ( http://www.mapit.de/download.en.html ) or try some of the free online image map makers ( http://www.kolchose.org/simon/ajaximagemapcreator/ ).

Image maps may be implemented either client-side or server-side. With a client-side image map, the determination of the target page can be done entirely on the user's own machine.

A server-side image map must pass location data back to the server, which then determines the target page. Client-side image maps are generally better in accessibility terms, but server-side image maps give more flexibility to deal with complex decision-making.

An image map is a picture that you put 'hot spots' on. A hot spot is a certain place on the pic that becomes clickable. They're easy to make and great fun to play with. They have a pretty simple code pattern to make them.

sideways distance is measured in x-pixels and downwards distance is in y-pixels (px) A distance 100 px over from the side....and 50 px down from the top would be .. x=100 y=50.

to see one I'm playing with.

You have to have a pixel counter called a mouse tracker to know where the mouse point is. There is one on that page and some links to get a couple more. Watch the little tracking boxes as you move the mouse around. That shows how many pixels your mouse is over (x) and down (y) from the edge.

Also google up some good Imap turorials.
