#imagemaps — Public Fediverse posts

🎨 Image maps: the relic of web design's embarrassing past. This article attempts to revive them like a washed-up '90s sitcom nobody asked for. 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, Mike Worth is living his best life, riding on #nostalgia and Duck Tales dreams. 🦆✨

“Designing Mike Worth’s website gave me a chance to blend expressive design with modern development techniques, and revisiting image maps reminded me just how important a tool image maps were during the period Mike loves so much.” @malarkey in CSS Tricks.

@vga256 At work, I had to create some fresh HTML imagemaps, because of $LEGACY.

I couldn’t find any reasonable software that could create these any longer. I had to dig out a Photoshop 6.0 (6.0, not CS6 or something), from 2001. Its "ImageReady" did the trick.

Every decade or so I rediscover this feature of HTML and think it's weird how no one uses it. What a weird API, it only works when the <img> is a decendant of an <a> tag, because it's combining the hyperlink of the <a> with click positioning on the <img>.
