using image map in a div with the background image
I know this question has been asked in the past but strangely could not find solution to the issue. My div is using a background image and I want to use image map on that image. Whats are the best options using either css, html, jquery, asp.net c# .

thanks for the comment. I know how to use imagemap but what i m asking is how to use imagemap when the image is set as a background image in a div
<div id="bgContainerFade" style="background-image:ur
<div id="bgContainerFade" style="background-image:ur
The two ways of using the image are mutually exclusive. A background can never be clickable, let alone have links applied as a map.
You either have to make the image content or change your design. If you need something overlaid in the image then use absolute positioning and z-index; but that will interfere with the clickability of the image.

If you don't have any overlays for the image, you could use a transparent image as the map, overlaid in the image and that might simulate what you are trying to do.

thanks for the comments.
i have tried adding a hyperlink with the absolute position. But this hyper link for some reason is not working.
see the code
<a href="http://www.google.co.uk" class="mainHolderLink1">&n

To position absolutely you must specify dimensions and the container must have position relative specified. A link that does not contain anything will not be clickable, and a single space will mean the user has to be exactly on the position the space for the click to work.
You are basically wasting your time with hacked approaches that will not work. All you will get is frustrated.

Hi,
Give the below code a try...
Also, you can store the left, top, width, height properties in an array of your programming languages - javascript/.net, whatever..

thanks for all the comments.
I have added 'img' inside the div as suggested and removed the background image coming via css. You may look at it again on www.murraypark.com
The problem now I have is z-index. If I set the z-index of bgcontainer div to 10 or so. The image map works but i can't click any other hyperlinks on the page.
