I have an image map with coordinates and event onclicks. I am not concerned about the image map coordinates as much as i am with the onclick event which is what triggers the parent application ( which seems to only recognize the event formatted in this way:

\<area shape=“circle” coords=“169,380,16” href="#" alt=“221” onclick=“top.changeView(’[Shared] CENTER’, ‘221’);” /\>

Is there any way to do this?At least for the onclick part?

I’d like to add the imagemap onclick to a button.

Thanks in advance
