<AREA ...> defines a single area within an image map. <AREA ...> requires the SHAPE and ALT attributes. In most cases also requires the HREF attribute to indicate the page the area points to.

<DIV ALIGN=CENTER>

<MAP NAME="map1">
<AREA 
   HREF="contacts.html" ALT="Contacts" TITLE="Contacts" 
   SHAPE=RECT COORDS="6,116,97,184">
<AREA 
   HREF="products.html" ALT="Products" TITLE="Products" 
   SHAPE=CIRCLE COORDS="251,143,47">
<AREA 
   HREF="new.html" ALT="New!" TITLE="New!"     
   SHAPE=POLY COORDS="150,217, 190,257, 150,297,110,257">
</MAP>

<IMG SRC="testmap.gif" 
   ALT="map of GH site" BORDER=0 WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=300
   USEMAP="#map1"><BR>

[ <A HREF="contacts.html" ALT="Contacts">Contacts</A> ]
[ <A HREF="products.html" ALT="Products">Products</A> ]
[ <A HREF="new.html"      ALT="New!">New!</A> ]
</DIV>

which gives us this map:

[ Contacts ] [ Products ] [ New! ]
