When you use a client-side imagemap, the information on the "hot spots"
(clickable areas) in the image is defined here. Every selectable area should
be mentioned in an AREA tag inside the MAP tag. The NAME attribute on the
MAP tag assigns a name to the imagemap. The URL for the client-side imagemap
should point to this.
For example, if you have a map named "foo", you could reference to it with
<IMG SRC="map.gif" USEMAP="#foo"> if the image was on the same page.
Notes:
* Client-side imagemaps are not widely supported yet, so try to offer a
textual alternative or also use a server-side imagemap. This can be
done by putting the IMG tag with the USEMAP attribute inside an A and
by adding the ISMAP attribute.
* Having the imagemap data in a separate file is not as widely supported
as inlined data.
