Only in Firefox? I would have thought that <img src="foo.png alt="foo"
onclick="whatever()"> would affect the whole image in _all_ browsers.

If it is only in FF then I suspect that you have something more
complex going on, possibly involving CSS positioning. Just a wild
guess as you didn't provide a URL to demonstrate your problem.

Only by using an image map.
