Imagine a picture of the world, and that if you touched any country with your cursor you would be presented with an item of information about that country. That picture of the world would be an image map. Image maps are produced by hyperlinking individual hot spots of the graphic to create an information-rich experience for the user.

You can use an image to create an image map as a navigation tool. You break your image into "hotspots" and assign properties to the specific hotspots.

A Hypertext document which takes the form of an image. Different portions of the image are hyperlinks to other WWW documents. By "clicking" on a particular section of the image the user will load the linked document on their computer. An example would be a map of the world which would bring up information about each nation when the user clicked on that nation.

An image that has different regions that respond to user interaction in a different way such as clicking on a state in a map of a country. Usually, each region is a link to a different web page.

A graphic that has hot spots with hyperlinks

A programatic method of applying "hot spots" or hyper-links to regions of a graphic file (image or photo). There are two types of image maps; client side and server side. Whenever possible, developers are encouraged to use client side image maps, where all link information is embedded within the HTML document. Server side image maps rely on server scripting to provide the link information (for example, the "zoom" feature on sites such as MapQuest)

An image which contains more than one Hyperlink, depending upon where the mouse is when clicked. » Back to top of screen

An image map is an image that has either a region or regions that act as a hyperlink. For example, think of an image of the state of Wisconsin. Each county of the state has been set as a hyperlink. When a user chooses this hyperlink region, he/she is linked to the web site for the county. Image maps are either client side or server side. A client side image map has its hyperlink regions created within the web editing software. Web editing software allows the designer to select an image, then mark "hotspot" hyperlink regions by tracing over an area. Most image maps are client side. Server side image maps are more complex. In a server side image map, a web server controls the interactivity of the hotspot regions of the image map.

Regions of an image that can be defined in HTML, usually so that different parts of the image link to different documents.

A graphic image in an HTML document containing one or more hotspots. Each hotspot in an image map can take you to a different Web page.

An image split into any number of hidden sections each with different links associated with it. For example, an image of the world could be divided into continents so that a different link could be assigned to each region.

A map that defines different areas of an image as hyperlinks. Rather than slicing an image into smaller parts, one can define rectangular, circular or polygonal areas on an image when clicked will send the user to the associated hyperlinks.

An image map can be applied to a single image so that the image has one or more areas that are clickable. An example of an image map would be to have a map of Great Britain, when you click on Leicestershire you would go to a page about Leicestershire. If you clicked on Northamptonshire you would go to a page about Northamptonshire.

An image which is divided into regions that when (the "hotspot") clicked on a new file opens. The image below reflects how an image map looks in Dreamweaver. Each of the "boxed" areas are mapped, which provides a link when any part of that area of the image is selected. In this example, a banner was created and 3 areas of the image are mapped with links. For information on how to create image maps, go to Dreamweaver's help menu.

A clickable image with two or more links.

a graphic image that is coded with HTML to be hyperlinked in various parts of the image to other parts of the Web site or page; for example: a map of the United States, HTML-coded by state

An image used in an HTML document which contain clickable areas that users can access to other documents.

CGI used to map portions of a graphic image, such that, clicking on a portion makes the image act as multiple buttons. For example, consider a picture of a circle, with a vertical line, and a horizontal line that cut it into quadrants (4 pieces). Now, using an ImageMap CGI, we can make each quadrant perform as a separate button, even though it's a single image.

An image map is an image on a web page that is divided into a series of 'hot spots'. Each hot spot acts as a link that will take you to another page with additional information. For example, the image could be a weather map that covers a number of cities. Each city on the map would be a separate hot spot, and clicking on a city would take you to another page that had a detailed weather forecast for that area.

A graphic divided into regions or hot spots. When a particular region is clicked, it calls up a web page that has been linked to that particular region.

This is a file that stores information about the "hotspots" (clickable areas) in the image. This file uses a server program to execute the links.

A single graphic image containing more than one hot spot. Image maps are used extensively on the WWW. Each hot spot in a Web image takes you to a different Web page or to another area of the same Web page.

It is an “image/graphic" that allows users to “click” on an area of a graphic, photo, or word, etc. to access another web page.

An image map is another way of creating links between webpages. In image maps, different parts of the image activate different links. (An example: this is an external Web link)

A graphic used for multiple navigation on a website. Image maps contain HTML code that turn specific areas of graphics into links.

The image map consists of a set of hyperlinks attached to areas of an image. Although most search engines should have no particular problems following the links, it is better to provide text links as well.

A graphic on a Web page that enables the viewer to navigate. Clicking on various areas of the image links the viewer to related pages.

A picture on the World-Wide-Web that reports mouse clicks by the area of the screen that is selected and then links to appropriate information. Image maps do not work on some older browsers and text-only browsers.

An image in an HTML document with hot links that act as anchors or links to other information. For example, the BBN home page on the Web is an image map that will take readers to other sections of the BBN site. Image source A file that contains the data encoding a picture or graphic.

An image on a web page that has specified areas that have hot spots that link to other web pages or links.

See "Clickable Map".

A set of hyperlinks attached to areas of an image. This may be defined within a web page, or as an external file. If the image map is defined as an external file, search engines may have problems indexing your other pages, unless you duplicate the links as conventional text hyperlinks. If the image map is included within the web page, the search engines should have no problem following the links, although it's good practice to provide text links too, to aid the visually impaired and those accessing the web with graphics switched off or using text only browsers.

An image that has different clickable areas linked to different pages. Image maps can either be imbedded in the HTML code or called as an external file. Search engines usually have difficulty spidering image maps when they are included from external files.

Image maps link regions of an image to other webpages. When you click on different designated regions of the image, your Web browser loads different related webpages.

graphics or images that contain one or more multiple links. One graphic or image can be used to link to another page or URL depending on the location inside the image that a link can be accessed. Return

An image that has clickable regions on it.

An image that has been divided into regions with associated actions. Clicking on an active region causes an action to occur.

A graphic containing one or more invisible regions, called hotspots, which are associated hyperlinks.

For example, a geographical map could be made into an image map by assigning hotspots to each region of interest on the map.

An image with clickable 'hot spots', allowing several hyperlinks from a single image file. For example, the image could be of a country, split into different areas, each of which could be clickable and hyperlink to a larger view of that specific area. Also see Hyperlink

Placing separate hyperlinks on different areas of the same image. Clicking on different parts of the image will take the user to different web pages. Not search engine friendly.

A hypergraphic in an HTML document that contains clickable areas that link to URLs on the World Wide Web.

An image containing one or more invisible regions which are linked to other pages. If the image map is defined as a separate file, the search engines may not be able to index the pages to which that image map links. The way out is to have text hyperlinks to those pages in addition to the links from the image map. However, image maps defined within the same web page will generally not prevent search engines from indexing the other pages.

An image containing one or more invisible regions, called hotspots, which are assigned hyperlinks. Typically, an image map gives users visual cues about the information made available by clicking on each part of the image. For example, a geographical map could be made into an image map by assigning hotspots to each region of interest on the map. Image maps are not used all that often now, though sometimes still are.

An image used for Web navigation because it's divided into several areas, each containing a link to another HTML document.

a single graphic image containing several programmed links to different places on the Internet

An image that contains more than one hyperlink on a Web page. Clicking on different parts of the image links the user to other resources on another part of the Web page, a different Web page, or a file. Often an image map, which can be a photograph, drawing, or a composite of several different drawings or photographs, is used as a map to the resources found on a particular Web site.

A single graphic image, generally in a GIF or JPEG format, containing multiple hyperlinks.

In Web page development, an image map is a graphic image defined so that a user can click on different areas of the image and be linked to different destinations. You make an image map by defining each of the sensitive areas in terms of their x and y coordinates (that is, a certain horizontal distance and a certain vertical distance from the left-hand corner of the image). With each set of coordinates, you specify a Uniform Resource Locator or Web address that will be linked to when the user clicks on that area.

A graphic on a Web page used for navigation. Also known as a "click able graphic" that performs different actions depending on where in the graphic you click.

A graphic used for multiple navigations on a Web page. Image maps contain HTML codes that turn specific areas of graphics into links.

A graphic overlay that contains more than one area (or hot spot) which is clickable and links to another web page or anchor. Image maps provide an alternative to text links for directing the user to additional information.

An image that has links embedded in it, such as a picture of a house in which there are links if you click on the windows, front door, or chimney. It is a good idea to also include text links, for people viewing the page as Text-Only, and to help search engines recognize the links.

This is a hyperlinked image that takes you to different places according to where on the image you click. For example the above letters will take you to different alphabetical entries of the glossary.

an image on a Web page that contains a number of hyperlinks. For example, a Website devoted to the study of human anatomy might display a picture of the human body. Directing the mouse cursor over the head and clicking could bring the user to a page that showed the brain, along with text describing the brain’s functions. Clicking on the heart might bring him to a page describing heart functions, and so on.

A clickable image used to help users navigate around and between websites. An image map is divided into several different hotspot areas, each of which is linked to another destination.

Image maps are positions on a graphic which when clicked are links that take the user to another specified area. A map of the UK for example may have several image maps on it (often invisible to the user), which when clicked take you to a website page about that region. Once again useful for creating a user friendly graphical representation which can help to navigate around a website. Internet Service Provider (ISP) Sometimes also called access providers, Internet service providers are the remote computer systems which connect your personal computer to the Internet. It is the Internet service provider that enables your computer to access the world wide web, and often where your e-mail is sent out from if you use a pop account. In the UK there are many many ISP's such as BT internet, Bulldog, NTL, Telewest and Tiscali to name but a few. The ISP can offer a range of ways of connecting to the Internet depending on their network, such as through telephone dial up, ADSl and SDSL. There is normally a charge for their service and is best investigated before committing to a contract.

A graphic that is divided into sections, each of which can contain a link to other HTML pages. See client-side image maps, server-side image maps.

An Image Map enables you to link distinct areas of an image to different documents. Thus, you can create hyperlinks to different documents from the same image.

In HTML, an image map is a list of coordinates relating to a specific , created in order to hyperlink areas of the image to various destinations (as opposed to a normal image link, in which the entire area of the image links to a single destination). For example, a map of the world may have each country hyperlinked to further information about that country. The intention of an image map is to provide an easy way of linking various parts of an image without resorting to dividing the image into separate parts.
