computer help!!?

ISMAP is part of the old-fashioned way of making image maps. Image maps originally required a server-side file as well as the HTML in the page. Only the very oldest browsers don't understand client side image maps, so it's recommended you don't waste your time on ISMAP.

Hope u wanna use ISMAP for a HTTP Server Scripting...

The ISMAP attribute for the IMG element lets you to turn an image into a graphically active element. This means that you can select regions of the image by clicking the mouse on them, and that clicking on different regions will cause the server to take different actions.

Conceptually this is done by creating, on the HTTP server, a map between certain regions and the corresponding action. These regions can be specified as boxes, circles, or enscribed polygons.

Then, when you click on the image, the coordinates of your click are sent down to a program on the server that looks in this database for the action associated with those coordinates.

The program then returns a message back to the browser that tells the browser which document it should access. This is known as a server redirect message, and is one of the standard messages of the HTTP protocol.
