OT: Problem creating links on image

chakkaln has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All

Sorry about the question not relating to perl. But I found lot of active participants in this group who replied to my earlier question on CGI and hence though it can answered by many of the people in this forum. I have written a cgi script which calls another script to create an image. In the first script I am generating some clickable points on the image created by second script. When I run the first script, I see the image but it does not give any hyperlinks on it. When I verified the source code of html(output of the first script), it does show the points. Am I doing some thing wrong in the way I am implementing the map or is there anything wrong with the html code. I changed the order of img src and map vice versa but with no success. Thanks for your attention Nagesh

Update:

Thanks for all those who have responded. I found the solution I want, Thanks to Cody Pendant whose suggestion was able to fix the problem. I apoligies if I have asked a question out of scope of this forum but it was not a conscious act. But this forum is a great resource of knowledge.

Thanks once again

This is not a Perl question. That aside, try removing the "`ismap`" statement from your `<img ...>` tag. It may be forcing your client to assume the map is a server-side (instead of client-side) one. e.g. `<img SRC="/cgi-bin/webpage/simpleImage.cgi?seq1=humPrPDpl&seq2=mouPrPD +pl&tissue=all" USEMAP="#image" BORDER="0">` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
