The .map file should be created in the format required by NCSA 1.5.2 HTTP server.

  • Example: Imagemap for Virtual Web Server www.policycenter.org.

    • HTML syntax to use a the built-in imagemap function in NCSA 1.5.2: 

    <A HREF="mapdir/image.map"><IMG ISMAP SRC="images/image.gif"></A>
    Where image.map is an NCSA/Apache conformant map file in the directory ~chepc/public_html/mapdir/. Note that user ~chepc is the home directory of the administrator for www.policycenter.org, and ~chepc/public_html maps to /www/policycenter.org/htdocs.
    Typical entries in the image.map might look like: 
    rect http://www.policycenter.org/reports.html 13,153 224,199
default http://www.policycenter.org
    Where reports.html is a document in the directory ~chepc/public_html/ and image.gif is the gif file in directory ~chepc/public_html/images/.
