Read/Write  

This is the identifier associated with the client-side image map specification. A map element contains all the area elements that define the hotspots of an image and their link destinations. The name assigned to the map element is the one cited by the usemap attribute of the img element. This binds the map definitions to the image.

 
Example
  
document.getElementById("myMap").name = "altMap";
 
Value

Case-sensitive string identifier that follows the rules of identifier naming: it may contain no whitespace, cannot begin with a numeral, and should avoid punctuation except for the underscore character.

 
Default

None.
