Client Versus Server Image Maps

Image maps can be client-side, server-side, or both. By default, Cosmo Create generates image maps that are both, so that your image maps can be used by as many different browser types as possible.

Here's the difference:

All image maps have names associated with them. Cosmo Create names them according the name of the image file for which you are creating the map. For example, if you are adding a map to foobar.gif, the image map name is foobar.map.

To choose what type of image map to create:

  1. Choose File > Preferences. . .

  2. Click the General preferences tab.

  3. Select the type of image map you want to create--client, server, or both

You can change the type of image map you want to create at any time by modifying the preference in the Preferences dialog.
