Features

While you might have came across other in-browser editors that support rectangles or polygons in some way, imgmap supports ALL of the standard map shapes such as rectangles, circles and polygons.
Note: Default shape is not currently supported, also not widely used.

The drawing engine is based on the canvas element, which is native part of all modern web browsers.
Note: Internet Explorer doesn't support canvas natively, thus the functionality is emulated.

Imgmap doesn't depend on any of the popular javascript libraries like jQuery, Prototype, etc. You can simply drop it into your project without any collision with other libraries.

Imgmap exposes no limitations regarding the number of areas you can define.
Note: Your browser might have such limitations however.

Easy to use API to set the imagemap from an existing HTML source, or to get the code of the one you are currently working with.

jslint is a javascript source code verifier, that detects a number of potential programming errors. Imgmap is free of such errors.

Imgmap supports by default a number of languages, but you can easy extend it with new ones.

Imgmap is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opeara and Internet Explorer 6+ as well as other browsers that are based on Gecko, Trident, Webkit or Presto layout engines.

Imgmap is shipped with plugins to the two most popular WYSIWYG editors: TinyMCE and FCKEditor.
