Area
Area
Employment/Purpose
An area of a image map. Instead of the application processing the coordinates, developers can add the area components as children of a imagemap component thus defining a target. The imagemap component will translate the mouse pointer coordinates into a logical name ie. The id of the area the user clicked.
Example
<imagemap src="/img/sun.jpg" onClick="alert(event.area)">
<area id="First" coords="0, 0, 100, 100"/>
<area id="Second" shape="circle" coords="200, 200, 100"/>
</imagemap>
The shape Property
An area component supports three kinds of shapes: circle, polygon and rectangle. The coordinates of the mouse position are screen pixels counted from the upper-left corner of the image beginning with (0, 0).
| circle | coords="x, y, r"
where x and y define the position of the circle’s center and r is the radius in pixels. |
| polygon | coords="x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3..."
where each pair of x and y define a point of the polygon. At least three pairs of coordinates are required to define a triangle. The polygon is automatically closed, so it is not necessary to repeat the first coordinate at the end of the list to close the region. |
| rectangle | coords="x1, y1, x2, y2"
where the first coordinate pair is one corner of the rectangle and the other pair is the corner diagonally opposite. A rectangle is just a shortened way of specifying a polygon with four vertices. |
If the coordinates in one area component overlap with another, the first one takes precedence.
