a) That's a total of 20 individual HTML files.
b) Requirement = 2 hyperlinks for image-map.
I did 4. That's 2 more than necessary. :/ I might divide it up into 20 one day, but not now, lol. It's easy to do that, but it's just pointless. What I did have in mind though, is setting it so that whenever a user were to click on a character, a frame would open up below or on the side of the site, and it would reveal the data for that specific character.
You could generate a page with PHP pretty easily. A datastore with image name, walls of text, et cetera would suffice for providing the information. One PHP page and one database / ini file / text file / w.e. would substitute your 20 HTML files just fine. Format changing would be pretty easy too, between CSS and the single PHP file. PHP and a datastore would also make adding new characters incredibly easy. Just add a new entry to the datastore and the PHP page(s) would automatically load the new entry. However, that might escape the scope of a simple HTML-design class.
If you do not like PHP or making 20 HTML pages with a CSS file, at least use Anchors to move the page to the correct character.
I also found the margins really annoying: Why is my scroll bar floating in the middle of the screen? I am not viewing the page in wide screen, so just imagine what it must be like for them.
Adding to Spaz's comment about frames: If you do need them, use them to make a little menu bar at the top or bottom or something.
