Are HTML Image Maps still used?

Do people still use the old HTML Image Maps? The ones with: 

<map name="test" id="test">
<area shape="poly" alt="" title="" coords=...

Or is there a newer, better alternative?

Solution

  • Yes, people do still use image maps. An alternative would be to position elements using absolute positioning and CSS but that's not necessarily better. It also doesn't allow you to have shapes like in image maps
