Attribute for <AREA ...>
COORDS

Looking for info on how to make an image map?

See our tutorial How to Make an Image Map
COORDS indicates whare the shape is located in the image map. COORDS is necessary if you set SHAPE to RECT, CIRCLE, or POLY. COORDS is not required if you set SHAPE to DEFAULT.

Coordinates are always entered as a comma delimited string of numbers. That is, the stirng consists of a number, then a comma, then another number, then a comma, etc. Don’t put a comma after the last number. The exact meaning of those list of numbers is different for each shape, so see the descriptions of the values for the SHAPE attribute for details.

For example, the following code sets coordinates for a rectangle, circle, and polygon, and sets no coordinates for the default.

<DIV ALIGN=CENTER>

<MAP NAME="map1">
<AREA 
   HREF="contacts.php" ALT="Contacts" TITLE="Contacts"
   SHAPE=RECT COORDS="6,116,  97,184">

<AREA 
   HREF="products.php" ALT="Products" TITLE="Products"
   SHAPE=CIRCLE COORDS="251,143,  47">

<AREA 
   HREF="new.php" ALT="New!" TITLE="New!"
   SHAPE=POLY COORDS="150,217, 190,257,  150,297,  110,257">

<AREA HREF="default.php" SHAPE=DEFAULT>

</MAP>
