HTML 5 <map> tag

Definition and Usage

Defines a client-side image-map. An image-map is an image with clickable regions.

Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5

The name attribute is no longer supported in HTML 5

Tips and Notes

Note: The area element is always nested inside the map element. The area element defines the regions in the image map.
