This is a new question feeding from another question that was just answered here.
I am working to highlight a <div>
based on search text. We've accomplished that, thanks to Alex.
Now, I'm trying to apply the same concept to mapped coordinates on an image map.
There's a jsfiddle here.
Here's the JS(jQuery 1.10.2)...
function doSearch(text) {
$('#content div').removeClass('highlight');
$('#content div:contains(' + text + ')').addClass('highlight');
}
If you want a method without SVG, you can use the Maphilight jQuery plugin (GitHub).
I have updated your jsFiddle.
function doSearch(text) {
$('#content div').removeClass('highlight');
$('#content div:contains(' + text + ')').addClass('highlight');
$('#Map area').mouseout();
$('#Map area[data-text*="' + text + '"]').mouseover();
}
$(function() {
$('#imgmap').maphilight({ stroke: false, fillColor: "ffff00", fillOpacity: 0.6 });
});
Note: For a better result just use a bigger image, because your bunny.jpg is too small and you have forced its size with height/width attributes.
It is not possible with image-maps and area elements, because those are non visible elements, that cannot have child elements, nor styles. You would have to do it a lot more complicated like described here
But it is possible using modern embeded SVGs - Almost every browser does support it nowadays. Even IE.
I tested it with Chromium and Firefox.
It cannot be done with the help of jQuery as far as I know but with usual Javascript. The key is:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" width="663px" height="663px">
<image xlink:href="http://webfro.gs/south/kb2/images/bunny.jpg" x="0" y="0" width="663" height="663" />
<circle class="office" cx="504" cy="124" r="94" />
<circle class="fire-exit" cx="168" cy="150" r="97" />
<circle class="main-exit" cx="378" cy="589" r="48" />
</svg>
_
var svgns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
var areas = document.getElementsByTagNameNS(svgns, 'circle');
$(areas).each(function(elem) {
if(areas[elem].className.baseVal === text) {
areas[elem].className.baseVal += ' highlightsvg';
} else {
areas[elem].className.baseVal = areas[elem].className.baseVal.replace(' highlightsvg', '');
}
});
See here in the JSFiddle. Is that the way you want it?
