Thanks for the correction Frank. My resources show that server-side image
maps are best for backward compatibility, and now that I stand corrected,
client-side image maps *are not supported in pre 3.x browsers*. You are
right about "faster than server-side" for they use no processing time. Here
is a url to learn how to create a client-side image map:
