HTMLMapElement: name property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The name property of the HTMLMapElement represents the unique name <map> element. Its value can be used with the useMap attribute of the <img> element to reference a <map> element.

If an id attribute is set on the <map> element, then this name property should be the same as this id.

Value

A non-empty string without whitespaces.

Example

html
<map name="image-map">
  <area shape="circle" coords="15,15,5" />
</map>
js
const mapElement = document.getElementsByName("image-map")[0];
console.log(mapElement.name); // output: "image-map"
