The following is an example of client-side mapping of input coordinates.
  1. The object tag defines the image to be displayed.
  2. The usemap attribute of the object defines the name of the map.
  3. The map element identifies the collection of map areas.
  4. The area tags define the selection areas, and the urls to be displayed if the area is selected.
