<map>
HTML <map> Tag
The <map> tag is used to specify an image-map, with active areas, where you can click to get more information. The clickable areas in the image map are defined using the <area> tag, nested in the <map> tag.
The <map> tag is used to connect the <img> tag with a client-side image-map, which means that the browser is responsible for the code interpreting and the image map rendering. To create a relationship between the image and the map, the required name attribute is used with the <map> tag, and usemap attribute with the <img> tag.
