Question

I am having an image that is being used as an image map.Image map highlights as gray onclick.I want no highlightening.This doesnot happens on safari on mac.However, this happens only on ipad simulator/device.

Answer 1

use CSS on your images

-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);

it will set the highlight color to fully transparent (alpha 0) black making it not display if you will set alpha to 1.0 on the other hand you will make the highlight to fully cover the clickable area.

refer to Safari CSS Reference for more details
