Cursor Problem When Overlaying Image with Numbers and Using Area Maps

Hi,

I have an application where I display an image, overlay the image with numbers, and then define map areas that open new windows when the map area is clicked.

This works fine, but the mouse pointer changes to the text cursor and the mapping function does not operate when the pointer is on the overlaid text. So the user must learn not to put the mouse cursor on the number of interest, but just get near it for the mapping function to work.

An alternative is to insert the mapping numbers directly into the image, but at low JPG quality levels the numbers become fuzzy and harder to read. The overlay technique creates very sharp text by comparison.

Is there a way to make the map function work when the mouse pointer is directly on the text overlaying the image as described above?
