HTML Mapping Image


The HTML mapping image is a client-side image-map with clickable areas which acts as hyperlinks in an HTML document. To create the relationship between the map and img HTML element the name attribute of map element is associated with the img usermap attribute.

Syntax

Following is the syntax −

<img src=”” alt=”’ usemap=”#name_value”>
<map name=”name_value”>
<area shape=”” coords=”” href=”” alt=”’>
<area shape=”” coords=”” href=”” alt=”’>
</map>
