I have a large image and I want to make certain sections of the image clickable. I also want to specify the shape of the clickable area (square, circle, custom). Without relying on Javascript, how can I use CSS and HTML to create an interactive image-map? With hoverable "hot spots" and highlighting areas without relying on generating SVG coordinates. All of the online image map generators I found using Google, did not deliver what I perceive as a standard basic function of any imagemap tool.
The bottom line is that if you want or need to use an image map, they are still a part of the standard, and they do have valid uses.
Most of the time, ALT tags are left out, leaving your search engines clueless about the content of your image map. Basically, search engines don't care about your image map as much as they do a standard link or image link which can affect your SEO (1).
Image Map in HTML is a very interesting and useful topic for web designers. It requires a little bit of knowledge of math to find the coordinates and radius of a circle. In Image Map, there are three shapes which are rectangle, circle, and polygon.
Making Images Responsive If they are not already, here's how you can do so: Open your stylesheet in the Stylesheet EditorTip: In the Advanced Stylesheet Editor, use the filter to get to your image elements (or 'hotspots'): Select the img element. Expand the Unclassified property and set the max-width to 100%
This one is in my opinion the best one for online (offline however dreamweaver is best): http://www.maschek.hu/imagemap/imgmap
