coords

The coords element specifies the coordinates of the linkable region in an imagemap area.

The element defines the starting point and size of that area. It uses the following data for the appropriate shapes:

Shape: Data format
rect: left-x, top-y, right-x, bottom-y
circle: center-x, center-y, radius
poly: x1, y1, x2, y2, ..., xN, yN. The first x and y coordinate pair and the last should be the same to close the polygon.

Pixels are recommended; they appear to work with all browsers.

Note: The behavior of image maps will depend on the browser on which they are rendered.

This element contains text data representing HTML coordinate data for image maps. The syntax of the coordinate data depends on the shape described by the coordinates.

Contains

( text data or keyword or option or parmname or apiname or cmdname or msgnum or varname or wintitle or term) (any number)
