### HTMLgen 2.2.2 Online Documentation

## Imagemaps

### FEATURES

Both client and server side imagemaps are supported. The test area below uses client side imagemaps. One starts with an image and identifies the areas which are to be linked to URLs. This is done with Area class instances which are then assigned to a Map object. That Map object is then grouped with the image via a normal Image class. A minimal example:

        a1 = Area(coords='0,0,50,50', href='a1.html')
        a2 = Area(coords='0,50,50,100', href='a2.html')
        csmap = Map(name='rect', areas=(a1,a2))
        csimage = Image('../image/csmap_rect.gif', usemap='#rect')

Note that the name tag must be referenced with the #name syntax for this to work. Also, both the Map object and the Image object must, of course, be included in the document file for client side maps to work.

### Moving the mouse pointer over the numbered areas should make Netscape show a URL name numbered accordingly.
