client-side<br>
image map.&nbsp; So when they click on e-mail address, mailto: will kick
in and<br>
click on the URL, it will take you there.&nbsp; Now if I wanted to do the
same<br>
as a banner on somebody else's site (like paid advertisement), they<br>
wouldn't have &lt;map&gt;&lt;/map&gt; on their web page.&nbsp; The server
side will<br>
accomplish the same effect?&nbsp; I would appreciate any help.&nbsp;
TIA.<br>

<x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>I belive
that also (someone correct me if I am wrong) that server-side image maps
were created to alleviate some compatibility issue with how the image map
was handled by the browsers a while back.&nbsp; I thought I read that
somewhere, anyway.<br>
