Thanks for the reply Shelly. I apologize for the confusing wording of
the problem.

Here's what the problem is in a simpler form.

If you want to create an image dynamically, and then create the
corresponding map and area tags, is there a way to somehow save the
spatial calculations that you did to create the image for use in
creating the area tags.

Let's just assume you have a page that you pass 3 strings to via GET,
and all the page does is generate three ovals containing those
strings.

That image generation page has to calculate the width of the strings,
etc. and then the size of the ovals so that the strings fit nicely
into the ovals.

Now, you want to go back and create the map to that image so when the
user clicks on the ovals, he is taken to a new page. It seems to me,
that you now have to do this spatial calculation all over again,
because there's no way to return the locations of the ovals.

Is this clearer?

Thanks again for the response.
