Use the alt attribute to specify an alternate text for each area in the image map.
The alt
attribute specifies an alternate text for an area, if the image cannot be displayed.
The alt
attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).
The alt
attribute is required if the href
attribute is present.
<area alt="text">
Value | Description |
