It's more to do with what server resources the script will use - hence why client side image maps are more commonly used. See the knowledgebase article for more info.

Hope this helps,

I was going to use CGI because client side image maps aren't necessarily compatible with all browsers. I've already used mapedit to create the map, but using it with CGI doesn't require the browser to support it. I guess I'll try using client side and not worry about it until I have problems.

Thanks for the suggestions!
