The latest versions of Netscape (and other browsers) support
client side image maps.  The image map data can be supplied as
part of the HTML document:

<MAP NAME="buttonbar">
<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS =0,0,100,100" HREF="top.html">
...
</MAP>
<IMG SRC="test.gif USEMAP=#buttonbar>

No CGI script required - and it is a proporsed standard HTML 
development, not a Netscapism
