What is the difference between server side image maps and client side image maps in HTML?

Possible reply

For server side image maps, the conversion from mouse position to action or URL is done in the server. This can be done controlled by a conversion table or by other CGI code. The mouse position is thus sent by the client to the server.

For client side image maps, a table specifying this conversion is part of the HTML code sent to the client. The client can thus convert a mouse position to a command locally in the client.
