A Proposed Extension to HTML : Client-Side Image Maps
RFC 1980, “A Proposed Extension to HTML : Client-Side Image Maps”, is a Historic document published in August 1996 by J. Seidman. It has been obsoleted by RFC 2854 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The markup language known as "HTML/2.0" provides for image maps. Image maps are document elements which allow clicking different areas of an image to reference different network resources, as specified by Uniform Identifier (URIs). The image map capability in HTML/2.0 is limited in several ways, such as the restriction that it only works with documents served via the "HTTP" protocol, and the lack of a viable fallback for users of text-only browsers. This document specifies an extension to the HTML language, referred to as "Client- Side Image Maps," which resolves these limitations.
What “Historic” means
