The <map> Tag (XHTML Reference)
Introduction
With the <map> tag you are defining a link-sensitive
area in an image and is always used in conjunction with the <image> tag. Usually
you can only bind one link to an image; however with the map tag you can define
different areas in one image with different links. Just think about a country
map where you have one big image and want to allow the user to press on any
each city. In that situation you could make use of the map tag. As mentioned
the map tag is only the definition; the real work is done with the <area>
tag. Please take a look at the <area> tag for more information.
The name of the map is defined through this attribute. This
name is used in the “usemap” attribute of the image tag. The image can then
use the map through this name.
