The guts of a client-side image map are the <area> tags within the map segment. These <area> tags define each mouse-sensitive region and the action the browser should take if that region is selected by the user in an associated client-side image map.
For client-side image maps to work, you must include somewhere in the HTML document a set of coordinates and URLs that define the mouse-sensitive regions of a client-side image map and the hyperlink to take for each region that is clicked by the user. You include those coordinates and links as values… Continue reading >>

Layers, by default, are usually seen (but most often not heard). You can change that by setting the visibility attribute to show, hide, or inherit. As expected, show forces the layer to be seen, hide hides it from view, and inherit explicitly declares that you want the
Like the corresponding attributes for the <body> tag, you may define the background color and an image for the layer with the bgcolor and background attributes, respectively.[*] By default, the background of a layer is transparent, allowing lower layers to show through.
[*] Note that you may also control the background… Continue reading >>
HTML document content layers are each defined with the <layer> tag.
Netscape has neatly solved this problem by supporting the unique <multicol> tag. While fancy unbalanced columns and straddling are not possible with this tag, as they are with tables, conventionally balanced text columns are easy to create with <multicol>. And while this capability is available only with Netscape, the <multicol> tag… Continue reading >>
