Clickable images in HTML

[Peter Konshak]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem.  I'm in the process of 
teaching myself some new HTML tricks, and I am trying to get clickable 
image maps to work.  As we don't yet have a web page or web server up, my 
HTML documents are stored locally and I use Netscape to view them.  So 
far, I have done the following:

o  Create a GIF file which meets my needs.
o  Use Map This! to define areas of the GIF as hotspots.
o  Save the information into a .map file.
o  Reference the image map in the HTML document.

The end result is that this does not work.  There appears to be one more 
step: tying a map file to a map name.  On a web server, this would be the 
imagemap.conf file, which would consist of the name and path of the map 
file. However, since I am not actually testing this on a web server, but 
just through Netscape, I don't have a imagemap.conf file to use.

Is there a way to set this up so it will work?  Can I trick Netscape 2.0 
into thinking there is an imagemap.conf file out there?  Or, do I just 
need to create this file somewhere and add the appropriate references? 

Thanks.

Peter
