Step 2
Apply client maps to create multiple hotspots in the banner image. In the HTML markup of your document, add a MAP element with a name attribute that specifies the name of the map. In the MAP, place one or more AREA children with the correct href, shape and coords attributes. For example: For the IMG element defining the banner, add a usemap attribute that refers to the client map. For example: This method allows you to use one banner to redirect the user to different resources, depending on which of the areas has been activated.

Set the onclick handler to the appropriate document element. This can be done by adding the onclick attribute to the HTML markup: or directly from the script: This method allows you to flexibly control the process of user redirection when clicking on a banner, but does not work when scripts are disabled in the browser.

You can perform some action on the form before submitting by assigning an onsubmit handler. It is permissible to assign a client map to a button image using the usemap attribute.
