Area Specifies the shape of a hyperlink “hot spot” in a client-side image map.

< AREA
ALT=text
COORDS=coordinates
HREF=url
SHAPE=CIRC | CIRCLE | POLY | POLYGON | RECT | RECTANGLE >

On the other hand, < MAP NAME = name > Specifies a collection of hot spots for a client-side image map.


NAME=name — Gives the MAP a name so it can be referred to later.

Let us consider a simple example -

< MAP NAME=" map1 " >
< AREA ... >
< AREA ... >
< /MAP >
