A free server-side program already exists to do this sort of thing: the glorglox advanced image mapper at http://www.net/~tomr/glorglox/. I believe it actually uses two images, of which one is displayed to the user and the other has different colors for each target URL. They could be the same image, as in the case of a political map, but the more general case of arbitrarily-shaped polygons with the same color but differing destinations can also be handled. --Jeff = J-F Pitot de La Beaujardiere = delabeau@iniki.gsfc.nasa.gov = http://globe2.gsfc.nasa.gov/
