You should definitely go for client side image maps.

<IMG SRC="cover_lable.gif" ALT="" USEMAP="#cover_lable"></A>
<MAP NAME="cover_lable">
<AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="97,113,286,136" HREF=mailto:linc@bulkley.net
ALT=""></AREA>
</MAP>

Your code looks fine, except for some syntax error and a
small detail. - You should make sure you have a text that
makes sense for the link in the ALT attribute of the AREA
element. I would write something like this:

  <IMG SRC="main_menu.jpeg" ALT="[Menu]" USEMAP="#menu"
       WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=40>

  <MAP NAME="menu">
   <AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="0,0,99,19" HREF="/" ALT="Home">
   <AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="0,20,99,39" HREF="mailto:sparre@nbi.dk"
         ALT="Write me">
  </MAP>

This way everybody, including search engines, lynx users,
and blind, can make sense of the "image" map.

Play well,

Jacob
