IDL Definition

Interface HTMLAreaElement : HTMLElement {

           attribute  DOMString                  accessKey;
           attribute  DOMString                  alt;
           attribute  DOMString                  coords;
           attribute  DOMString                  href;
           attribute  DOMString                  noHref;
           attribute  DOMString                  shape;
           attribute  long                       tabIndex;
           attribute  DOMString                  target;
};

Semantic Requirements

  1. The accessKey attribute is a single character access key to give access to the form control.
  2. The alt attribute alternates text for user agents not rendering the normal content of this element.
  3. The coords attribute is a comma-separated list of lengths, defining an active region geometry.
  4. The href attribute contains the URI of the linked resource.
  5. The noHref attribute specifies that this area is inactive (i.e. has no associated action).
  6. The shape attribute is the shape of the active area.
  7. The tabIndex attribute contains an index that represents the element's position in the tabbing order.
  8. The target attribute contains the frame to render the source in.
