Interactive SVG Maps
Making SVG maps interactive with CSS and JavaScript.
- Each SVG path represents a region (state, country, district)
- Add hover: path:hover { fill: #007bff; cursor: pointer; } in CSS
- Click events: document.querySelectorAll('#map path').forEach(p => p.addEventListener('click', handler))
- Tooltip: show state/country name on mouseover using a floating <div>
- Data binding: fill paths with color based on data value for choropleth visualization
