Name
isMap — NN n/a IE 4 DOM 1
Synopsis
Read/Write
Whether the IMG element is acting as a server-side
image map. For an image to be a server-side image map, it must be
wrapped with an A element whose HREF attribute
points to the URL of the CGI program that knows how to interpret the
click coordinate information. The browser appends coordinate
information about the click to the URL as a GET
form method appends form element data to the
ACTION attribute URL.
More recent browsers allow client-side image maps (see the
useMap property), which operate more quickly for
the user, because there is no communication with the server to carry
out the examination of the click coordinate point.
Example
document.navMap.isMap = true
