Author's Description: Java imagemap with highlightable links. You supply only two images to the applet, one normal and one with all links highlighted. It then shows the normal one, and when you move the mouse cursor over a link, it changes so that it becomes highlighted. There are some very cool effects that can be created with this one. Also features a debug mode, which allows you to easily check the boundaries of the links.
Both the binaries and Source Code are available on this URL-link to the English version of the author's homepage for examples of this applet in action. See also ImagemapPLUS3 and Menu ala Java (both this section) for other applets that use highlighting text links.
