QUESTION

I read your book, Creating Cool Web Pages with HTML, and I am working on a page. I tried to make an imagemap, following the instructions in the book, but it didn't work. I know that it might be a problem with the web browser I am using, Prodigy Web Browser, but I've tried CERN and NCSA .map formats.

ANSWER

The trick to getting image maps to work is to have the server itself set up correctly; you must have a server, and it must be configured to let you have image maps in the directory you're using for your page. Once you have that set up, it'll work automatically once you get the right '.map' file online!

There are two good reference pages on image maps I've found:
