TIL server side image maps: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageEl...

Supported since forever.



Wow, I remember when server side image maps were the only kind of image map!


Really? <map> was also supported since Chrome and Firefox 1. Is ismap older yet?

If I recall, yes. I don't think clientside maps hit till HTML 3.2


Paul Graham's website uses image maps for the nav bar, it's the only place I can recall seeing them off the top of my head.


IIRC the Apple website used to use (client side image maps) them. But I suspect that was Mai my so they could do some research where users actually click on their screen.


That one's a client-side image map.


And completely unnecessary. Should be a list of text links.
