As I'm sure you know, this involves defining a map and linking it with
the usemap attribute placed on the <img> element. This attribute is
available for <img>, <object> and <input> but not <table>.
The reasoning behind this (AFAIK) is that client-side maps are
strongly pixel-based, and so it's only appropriate and reliable to use
them with elements that also have a robust scaling onto pixel-sizes.
<img> is OK for this, <table> isn't (it depends too much on the
effects of text size) and so doesn't support usemap.

Whenever someone asks "How do I <foo>?" the obvious question (as
usually posted by Jukka) is, "<foo> is crazy. You don't need to do
<foo>. What is the real requirement <bar> that you _must_ do, and
you've already assumed falsely implies that you should solve by using
<foo>?"
So what's your _real_ need here ? Maybe there's a better and simpler
route that avoids the whole issue?
You can of course place multiple <img> in a <table> and give each one
a <map>. Slightly long-winded to code, but entirely plausible.
