oh man <map> and <area> yes kids today just don't know the pain we went through.

this is back when every single byte mattered and saving a few MB was the difference between a good user experience and a bad one.

for those that never used this, you would do something like

<img src="funnycats.jpg" usemap="#funnycats-map">

<!-- the map defines clickable zones --> <map name="funnycats-map"> <shape="rect" coords="34,44,270,350" href="cats.html"> </map>

most ppl used something like Dreamweaver but bad-asses would do their own coordinates.
