AREA Element | AREA Object
Defines a clickable area, or hotspot, within a client-side image MAP.
Remarks
A hotspot is an invisible region on a graphic that is assigned a hyperlink. When a site visitor clicks the region, the destination of the hyperlink opens in the browser. A hotspot can take the shape of a rectangle, circle, or polygon.
AREA describes an individual hotspot region in the image map. The element defines the shape, coordinates, and associated URL of one hyperlink region. AREA can only be used inside a MAP element. Any number of AREA elements may be contained within the same MAP element.
The coords attribute is required. The format of the coords value is dependent upon the value of the shape attribute.
Also, either the href or the nohref attribute must be supplied.
