A self-contained, portable HTML record showing exactly how an ordinary PNG or GIF becomes a multi-link interactive map when HTML places transparent anchor regions over the image.

Important: GIF and PNG files do not store multiple live hyperlinks inside their pixels. The working links belong to the surrounding HTML. This page demonstrates the correct, portable method.

Working GIF Hotspot Demonstration

Animated GIF below + seven real HTML links above it

Yellow/cyan rectangles = HTML anchors GIF animation = visual guidance only Click any numbered region to open its destination
1. Raster image

The GIF or PNG supplies the visible artwork. It may animate, but its pixels do not contain seven independent web destinations.

2. Responsive hotspot layer

Each transparent HTML anchor uses percentage-based left, top, width, and height values so it stays aligned when the image scales.

3. Live hyperlink

Every anchor has its own absolute URL, accessible label, keyboard focus state, hover label, and new-tab behavior.

How the Mapping Works

IMAGE OR GIF (visual pixels)
+ RESPONSIVE HTML CONTAINER (position: relative)
+ TRANSPARENT ANCHOR HOTSPOTS (position: absolute; percentage geometry)
+ ONE ABSOLUTE URL PER HOTSPOT
= ONE VISUAL IMAGE WITH MANY REAL CLICKABLE DESTINATIONS

Portability Record

This is a single self-contained HTML document. Both visualization images and the animated GIF are embedded directly as data URIs. All destination hyperlinks are absolute HTTPS URLs. The file can therefore be placed inside the 2026-07-14 AWS folder, copied to another S3 prefix, attached to a support record, or hosted on another website without breaking its images or link destinations.

The only expected exception is access control: AWS Console destinations require the viewer to be signed into an AWS account with permission to view those resources.
