title: illustrator map to imagemap automatically? or is there a better way?
body: <p>I have a vector illustrator file with all the counties of California as distinct paths. I need to have these counties be links to other pages online. is there a way to automatically generate an HTML imagemap from this file? illustrator provides an export as a jpg function that has options for polygonal imagemap shapes, but it isn't working.</p>
  
  <p>alternatively, do you have an opinion about the usage these days of imagemaps at all and whether I should approach this another way?</p>
  
  <p>yes, I know I could do this in flash but I want to avoid that.</p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
