UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT APPROACHES TO CREATING AN IMAGE MAP.

CLIENT-SIDE IMAGE MAPS

THE LAYOUT OF THE MAP IS INCLUDED IN THE HTML FILE AND HANDLED BY THE CLIENT.

 

SERVER-SIDE IMAGE MAPS

THE LAYOUT OF THE MAP IS KEPT IN A FILE ON THE SERVER. THE CLIENT JUST SENDS PIXEL COORDINATES TO THE SERVER.

WE WILL ONLY COVER THE "CLIENT-SIDE" APPROACH.
