I would like to put an onclick event on an area element. Here is my setup:
<img id="image" src="wheel.png" width="2795" height="2795" usemap="#Map" >
<map name="Map">
<area class="blue" onclick="myFunction()" shape="poly" coords="2318,480,1510,1284" href="#">
</map>
I have tried 2 different ways to have an onclick event. Firstly i tried this:
$(".blue").click( function(event){
alert('test');
});
I have also tried this:
function myFunction() {
alert('test');
}
Neither of the above work. Do area elements support the above, or do they only support having a href?
Pay attention:
Attribute href is obligatory, without it the area-tag does nothing!
To add a click event, you'll need to block default href.
Your code should start as follows:
$(".blue").on("click", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
/*
your code here
*/
});
