image map won't work with Java applet

[NewtownGuy]

I place an image map over live M-JPEG video. It works in all browsers except when I display the video with a Java applet. Initially I thought it was just an IE problem, but it also occurs in other browsers when the video is displayed by a Java applet. There's no problem if I display the video without using a Java applet. I need to use the Java applet in IE to get higher frame rates than I can get without it since M-JPEG is not native to IE.

I use usemap="#name_of_map" in the applet tag that shows the video, so I made sure to use the leading # that IE requires, but the problem is not just in IE.

How can I solve this problem ?

Thank you in advance for your help.
