Html tutorials lesson 8

Image Map:
Image maps are images with clickable areas. These areas in image-maps when clicked will
link to another page. The image maps have to be used intelligently to make it effective.
If they are not used appropriately they can confuse the users. The <map> tag is used to
define an image-map. The <map> element contains a number of <area> elements for
defining the clickable areas in the image map. In HTML5, if the id attribute of the <map>
tag is specified, then it must have the same value as the name attribute.
Table 8.4 shows <map> tag attribute and its value.

Follow these guidelines to create an image map:
1-Use the <img> tag to insert and link an image. In the <img> tag, use the
usemap attribute to define the image map name.
2-Use the <map> tag to create a map with the same name. Inside this <map>

tag, define the clickable areas with the <area> tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<img src=”6.jpg” width=”600” height=”300” alt=”cake”
usemap=”#cakemap” />
<map name=”cakemap”>
<area shape=”circle” coords=”0,0,200,600” href=”4.html” alt=”cake”
/>
</map>
</body>

</html>
