What are HTML Maps?
The HTML <map> tag was created in order to make it easy to set a few links on a single image. Instead of cutting the image into parts and adding an anchor tag (<a>) to each of them – all you have to do is create a <map> tag and connect it with the relevant image on your HTML page.
The HTML map element as only one required attribute: "name", which is used later for connecting the <map> tag to the right <img> element.
Areas inside an HTML map
The way to specify the links inside an HTML map is to nest <area> tags inside the relevant map.
The <area> tag has a few important attributes:
- shape: sets the shape of the area we want to add the link to. The shape attribute can be on of the following:
- "rect" – For a rectangular link area(most common).
- "circle" – For a circular link area.
- "poly" – For a custom poligonal link area.
- coords: sets the coordinates for the link area.
- href: specifies the URL to link to.
- alt: specifies the alternative text.
- target: specifies the link's target window.
