MAP

This tag defines the values of the image map to be displayed in the clients' browser. The AREA tag is placed between the opening and closing MAP tags to define the shape and placement of the image map. For example:

<MAP NAME="INDEXPAGE"> <AREA NOHREF ALT="Site Index" SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="x1,y1,x2,y2"> </MAP>

MAP Attributes:

CLASS=" ... "

This attribute indicates the style 'class' applicable to the tag to which it has been assigned, the style 'class' being a function of a style sheet. For example, assume the style class 'relaxed' includes text with a font size of 8, and the style class 'active' includes text with a font size of 12. Using the CLASS="relaxed" attribute with a tag will cause the text within that tag to be displayed with a font size of 8. Using the CLASS="active" attribute with a tag will cause the text within that tag to be displayed with a font size of 12.

ID=" ... "

The ID attribute is used to assign a unique ID selector (identification) to the tag in which it is invoked. A style may be assigned to that ID, which will effect only that one instance of the attribute.

NAME=" ... "

This tag is used to mark a location within a document with a unique name. This named location can then be quickly moved to by means of a hyperlink using the HREF="#URL" attribute. Note the pound (#) sign before the URL. The pound sign used in this way indicates to the browser that the target location has been defined by the NAME=" ... " attribute.

STYLE=" ... "

Used to specify which style sheet commands to apply to the instance of the STYLE attribute invoked within the tag.

TITLE=" ... "

The TITLE attribute is used to display a note or information in a popup window pertaining to the object to which it was assigned. The popup window is invoked by holding the mouse pointer over the object.

This tag also accepts the following Event Handlers: onClick onDblClick onDragStart onHelp onMouseDown onMouseUp onMouseOver onMouseMove onMouseOut onKeyPress onKeyDown onKeyUp onSelectStart
