Re: Image Map

You can control highlightening of image maps using 
AREA:link 
AREA:visited 
AREA:hover 
AREA:active 
as selectors in your style sheet.

Then assign different background colors, and have the 
image serving as a map be with transparent regions.

CSS2 defines :hover and :active applicable to all elements, 
and :link and :visited to those that serve as links in 
the document language.
