Question
It's my understanding that America Online 3.0 does not allow users to run their own CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script. It's also my understanding that in order to create mapped portions of a single graphic web page, one must use a program that generated a map file. Does the map file need a CGI script to run? Is there a way I can create a mappable web page here on AOL?

Answer
Fortunately, the Web Server that America Online uses supports Imagemaps without having to use a seperate Imagemap program.

You need to create your map file and upload it, along with your .gif (graphic).
Then use the following hypertext to point to it:
<A HREF="yourmap.map"><IMG ISMAP SRC="yourpic.gif"></A>

That's it! Let us know if you have any problems with your execution.
