HTML Tag
The area tag in HTML is used to set an area in image map.
Following are the attributes −
| Attribute | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| alt | text | Specifies an alternate text for the area. |
| coords | if shape = "rect" then coords = "left, top, right, bottom" if shape = "circ" then coords = "centerx, centery, radius" if shape = "poly" then coords = "x1, y1, x2, y2,..,xn, yn" | Specifies the coordinates appropriate to the shape attribute to define a region of an image for image maps. |
| download | filename | Specifies that the target gets downloaded when hyperlink is clicked by user. |
| href | URL | Specifies the URL of a page or the name of the anchor that the link goes to. |
| hreflang | language_code | Specifies the language of the target URL. |
| media | media query | Specifies media/device the target URL is optimized for. |
| nohref | true/false | Excludes an area from the image map |
| rel | alternate author bookmark help license next nofollow noreferrer prefetch prev search tag | Specifies relationship between the current document and the target URL |
| shape | rect rectangle circ circle poly polygon | Specifies the shape of the image map |
| target | _blank _parent _self _top | Where to open the target URL. _blank − the target URL will open in a new window _self − the target URL will open in the same frame as it was clicked _parent − the target URL will open in the parent frameset _top − the target URL will open in the full body of the window |

Let us now see an example to implement the <area> tag −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h2>Learning</h2> <p>Learn these technologies with ease....</p> <img src = /images/usemap.gif alt = "usemap" border = "0" usemap = "#tutorials"/> <map name = "tutorials"> <area shape = "poly" coords = "74,0,113,29,98,72,52,72,38,27" href = "/perl/index.htm" alt = "Perl Tutorial" target = "_blank" /> <area shape = "rect" coords = "22,83,126,125" alt = "HTML Tutorial" href = "/html/index.htm" target = "_blank" /> <area shape = "circle" coords = "73,168,32" alt = "PHP Tutorial" href = "/php/index.htm" target = "_blank" /> </map> </body> </html>
