Definition and Usage

The name property is used to set or return the value of the name attribute of an image map.

The name property describes the name of the image map.

The name property is associated with the usemap attribute of the <img> tag to create a relationship between the image and the map.

Note:When the name property is set, you also need to set the <img>'s usemap attribute - if not set, the image and map elements are no longer associated (clickable areas will no longer be clickable).

Note:In HTML5, the value of the id attribute and the name attribute of the <map> element must be the same (but null or empty values are not allowed).
