This page is part of the WebCom Web Publishing Guide. It provides a step by step guide to creating imagemaps (also referred to as "clickable images") and using them in your HTML documents. WebCom supports Client Side Imagemaps and Server Side Imagemap files using either the NCSA or CERN format. Documentation on both formats is available.

See the Images page, for technical and design considerations related to the images themselves.
