Is there any way to apply an image map to a background picture? I am using a background picture for example <TD height="55" background="images/example.jpg">' and I need to add links to that picture. I am aware of how to do this on a regular image but not on a background image. Is there a way of doing this with css? I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Andrew

No.

No.

You could have a fixed width layout and use absolute positioning for the anchor elements. However there would be a fair amount of trial and error.
