Imagemaps in Drupal

Background

An imagemap is a single image that by some ancient HTML 1.0 specification can have different parts of the image assigned to different links. The parts are defined by coordinates that no human should have to try to generate manually.

Instead of one imagemapped image with 5 regions we could have 5 different images, each wrapped in a link, that we stick in exactly the right place with CSS -- that's how a web designer would do a one-off image of links, i think. With that approach, though, the client would have to come to us or an HTML/CSS person each time. With an imagemap tool they should be able to do it that way themselves.
