Name

Synopsis

<MAP>...</MAP>

End Tag: Required

A MAP element is a container for AREA elements that define the location and links of hotspots of client-side image maps. The primary purpose of the MAP element is to associate an identifier (the NAME attribute) that the USEMAP attribute points to when turning an IMG element into a client-side image map. Most other attributes are style-related and may be applied to the MAP element so that they are inherited by elements nested within.

Example

<IMG SRC="images/logo.gif" ALT="Scroll to the bottom for navigation links."
HEIGHT=300 WIDTH=250 USEMAP="#navigation">
<MAP NAME="navigation">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="0,0,100,100" HREF="products.html">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="0,100,300,100" HREF="support.html">
</MAP>
