No Java or JavaScript (two entirely different things) needed. Just use
an imagemap. It should work one way or another in most every browser.
It's even in the official 3.2 specs, so it's very safe to use.
Here's a quick example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Imagemap test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Imagemap test</H1>
<IMG SRC="colors.png" USEMAP="#basemap">
<P>That was a simple imagemap with one hot area</P>
<MAP NAME="basemap">
<AREA SHAPE=rect HREF="joncruz.html" COORDS="0,0, 100,200" ALT="Jon A.
Cruz">
<AREA SHAPE=rect HREF="someSubDirectory/" COORDS="110,0, 200,200"
ALT="Mystery Artist">
</MAP>
</BODY>
</HTML>
And for more details on what to do, see this link:

I agree! I often take a look at the status bar when the mouse is over the
link to see where the link leads to. If the link is an image for example
(like in your gallery), I like to see if the linked object is a HTML page
that contains the image, or if it is the image directly. That sort of stuff.
And I just hate it if I can't see this information, because the page chooses
to overwrite the statusbar with some own information.
I agree with Jon's other post: Use the ALT-attribute of the link tag for
your information. Then the user will see your information in a small
tool-tip bubble while the mouse pointer rests over the link.
Greetings,
Johannes.

It looks very good.
I only wish that the links were to individual images and
not general sites.

Might be.
Which doesn't make it Java.
Besides it doesn't need the Javascript tags, so who would know? ;)

Yes. It's either jscript or JavaScript.

This is the only way I see to do it though.

It doesn't work in Netscape with image maps. That was the whole problem in the
first place.

But Netscape doesn't show the tooltips.

Well, I'm gonna go ahead with the mouseover status-bar thing. I know,
it's considered "bad", blah blah blah, but it's the only way I see to do
it given that NS won't show the ALT ot TITLE in tooltips.
