Indeed you do. Simultaneous use of USEMAP and ISMAP (client-side and server-side image mapping) has been a common and [we think] prudent practice in this shop ever since Seidel mapping was first made possible. The answer to your question is that the client-side map will take precedence if seen by a browser that's dual-capable. A non-Seidel browser has the server side map to fall back on. If I may -- ahem -- slightly amend your code, here's how it's done: <a href="/cgi-bin/imagemap/~mypath/server-side.map"><img src="foo.png" alt="bar" usemap="#client-side-map" ismap></a> Amitie's, Stu Harris Beach Media, San Diego www.beachmedia.com/www/
