Definition and Usage

The <map> tag is used to define a client-side image-map. An image-map is an image with clickable areas.
The required name attribute of the <map> element is associated with the <img>'s usemap attribute and creates a relationship between the image and the map.
The <map> element contains a number of <area> elements, that defines the clickable areas in the image map.
