For a browser to display an image with an image map, the following sequence of events must have occurred:

1. The browser sends a HTTP request to the server.
   
   
2. The server returns a HTML web page that contains an <IMG> tag for the image, and the <MAP> and <AREA> tags for the image map.
   
   
3. The browser receives the HTML web page. It then sends another HTTP request to the server using the URL in the <IMG> tag for the actual image.
   
   
4. The server returns the actual image to the browser.
