Creating an
Image Map
Chapter Objectives
• Define terms relating to image mapping
• List the differences between server-side and
client-side image maps
• Name the two components of an image map and
describe the steps to implement an image map
• Distinguish between appropriate and
inappropriate images for mapping
• Sketch hotspots on an image
Chapter 5: Creating an Image Map
2
Chapter Objectives
• Describe how the x- and y-coordinates relate to
vertical and horizontal alignment
• Open an image in Paint and use Paint to map the
coordinates
• Create the home page and additional Web pages
• Create a table, insert an image into a table, and
use the usemap attribute to define an image map
Chapter 5: Creating an Image Map
3
Chapter Objectives
• Add text to a table cell and create a horizontal
menu bar with text links
• Use the <map> </map> tags to start and end a
map
• Use the <area> tag to indicate the shape,
coordinates, and URL for a mapped area
• Change link colors

4
Creating an Image Map
• Image map – 2 components
1. Image
2. Map definition
a. Hotspots
b. URLs to which they link
• Selecting Images
–
Not all images appropriate for image mapping
•
Good choice – image with visual sections
– Example USA map
Chapter 5: Creating an Image Map
5
Creating an Image Map
• Sketching the Borders of Hotspots
– Clickable areas within the image
• Good choice – image with visual sections
– Example USA map
• Mapping Image Coordinates
– After determining how to divide image into areas,
must determine the x and y coordinates for those
sections
• x-axis – runs horizontally along base of image
• y-axis – runs vertically along the left of image
• Point(0,0) – top left corner of image
– First number of coordinate pair is x-coordinate
Chapter 5: Creating an Image Map
6
Creating an Image Map
• Software for Image Mapping
– Simple or sophisticated image editing or paint program
can be used to determine the x and y coordinates for
various image points
• Paint program – used in this chapter’s project
– Example USA map
• 3 shapes for mapping areas (see next slide)
1. Rectangle – coordinates top-left and bottom-right corners
2. Circle – use center point and radius as coordinates
3. Polygon – use each corner point coordinate
Note: to define map area of image, must determine the x and y coordinates for
that shape, then insert the coordinates for the various map shapes into the
HTML code

Creating an Image Map
• Coding the Map
– Final step in an image map is writing HTML
code for the map
• Client-side image map - tags <map></map>
and <area> used
– <area> tag defines specific areas of the map
and the links and anchors those areas.
• X and y coordinates for each map area inserted into
<area> tag with coords attribute with quotation
marks separated by commas

Chapter 5: Creating an Image Map
X- and y- coordinates are pairs
of numbers that correspond to
points on the map polygons;
5 pairs for Arizona and Nevada
7 pairs for California
