### Why is this important?
An image map is divided into selectable regions defined by `<area>` elements.
When the image map contains important information, providing a text alternative for the map makes the same information accessible.
<!-- This is where the code snippet is injected -->
<div id="locSnippet"></div>
### What to do
* Add an `alt` attribute to the image that uses a non-empty `usemap` attribute to provide a short description that serves the same purpose.
For example:
```
<img src="blood.gif" width="145" height="126" alt="Blood Cells" usemap="#cellmap">
<map name="cellmap">
<area shape="circle" coords="90,58,3" href="redbloodcell.htm" alt="Erythrocyte">
<area shape="circle" coords="124,58,8" href="whitebloodcell.htm" alt="Monocyte">
</map>
```
</script></mark-down>
<!-- End main panel -->
<!-- This is where the rule id is injected -->
<div id="ruleInfo"></div>
</div>
<div class="bx--col-sm-4 bx--col-md-3 bx--col-lg-4 toolSide">
<!-- Start side panel -->
<mark-down><script type="text/plain">
### About this requirement
* [IBM 1.1.1 Non-text content](https://www.ibm.com/able/requirements/requirements/#1_1_1)
* [H24: Text alternatives for image maps](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/html/H24)
### Who does this affect?
* People using a screen reader, including blind, low vision, and neurodivergent people
* People who turn off image-loading on their web browsers
* People using text-based browsers (e.g., Lynx) or audio interfaces
