    1. Yes, that was my intention. It is a screenshot of an example of what the code could look like.
      You actually need to generate that code using the Image Maps program first. This blog post is Step #2.

      Here is a link to my other blog post “How to Create Clickable Graphics With Image Maps Without a Subscription” that explains how to generate that code using the Image Maps program: https://regroove.ca/oh365eh/2014/08/20/create-clickable-graphics-with-image-maps-without-subscription/

      I apologize that my blog post was not clear! I hope the updates I made to the wording have helped.

  1. Hello!

    Thank you very much for this tutorial (and the other two that complete it). Very pragmatic and useful!

  2. I don’t get it!
    What I get at the end is an image. I can’t click on each part.
    Did I miss something?

  3. SharePoint Image Maps is the SharePoint Add-in to create interactive images with eye-catching content from within SharePoint. Images contained within a Picture Library will have the option to create an Image Map directly from the image’s Context Menu. You can even set the content text to be taken from a SharePoint List for easy updates. The generated Image Map is fully responsive and optimized to work across all devices.
