<area>

Area

The description of a hot spot region within a linked image, as identified by its shape and coordinates, and an associated URI (<ext-link>) which provides the link that the spot activates

This is an EMPTY element, i.e., it has no actual content; information on the size and location of the hot spot will be held by the attributes associated with this element. The link for the hot spot action will be provided by the @xlink:href attribute. The @map-alt attribute may be used to name an alternative to the given map.

Remarks

This Tag Set has a series of elements used to create hot spots on a graphic using the technique of a client-side image map (that is, one held within the HTML page, not on an external server). The <map-group> element holds an image (<graphic>) and the coordinate information used to make the hot spots (<map>) for that image. Each map contains one or more <area>s, each of which defines the shape and coordinates for one hot spot. <area> elements are empty; the attributes for each <area> provide a hot spot shape, coordinates, and the action link.
