Can I use maphilight plug in to highlight areas with same class on two different maps?

Question

If I have two different maps (for different images) displayed side by side, can I use maphilight to highlight area from each map with the same class?

I'm looking for something similar to how groupBy works on one map.

Answer 1

I found the answer to the query (pun intended).

Use a name tag to link the areas together (if you've multiple areas in one image grouped using groupBy, then use the name tag on only one of those areas. Else, it'll cause multiple hover effect and lead to darkening of the highlight due to overlapping).

Then in jQuery, use $('area[name="foo"]').mouseover();
