Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

AREA — NN 3 IE 4 DOM 1

Synopsis

The AREA object reflects the AREA element, which defines the shape, coordinates, and destination of a clickable region of a client-side image map. Navigator and Internet Explorer (for compatibility with Navigator) treat an AREA object as a member of the links collection, since an AREA object behaves much like a link, but for a segment of an image.
