This hour explained how to create imagemapslinks that lead to more than one place, depending on where you click an imageas well as why and how to avoid using them in some circumstances. You saw how to define rectangular and circular link regions within an image, as well as irregularly shaped polygonal regions. You saw how imagemaps, although highly specialized in function, can nonetheless be very useful in some situations. When used selectively, imagemaps can be an important part of a web page's user interface. Table 10.1 is a summary of the tags and attributes covered in this hour.
