We have divided the map in different colors showing different timezones but
application calculates the time according to zones vertically divided. This
leads to a confusion because time doesn't change even if clicked in a
particular colored area because it is not in that zone, the application will
consider.

So isn't better idea to display different colors for each vertically divided
areas.

Looks like we have decided how to deal with this problem.

Instead of using image commandLinks with images we are now going to use an image
map to more clearly define the time zones.

Image maps are a little weird in JSF but they can be done. How ever the image
map is done it should be as simple as possible, we don't don't want to confuse
anyone.

Here's what needs to be done
1. multi pictures that make up north America should be made into one picture.
2. Using an image editing tool like Gimp, find the rough coordinates of
polygons that define each time zone.
3. Look into adding a border style for the image map links, so people are more
aware of the boundaries. border: 1px dashed #999999 might work well.
