Image Map Support


Windows httpd includes a pre-installed facility that lets you present pictures that have "hot-spots" which lead to other documents, using the "image map" support in most browsers. You define a "map" which contains the coordinates of the areas (ellipses, circles, rectangles, and polygons) which you want to be click-sensitive, then cross-reference those areas with URLs for other documents or scripts.

In other words, you can make a picture into a "control panel" for your hypertext.
