Attributes

The following table shows items that Internet Explorer Embedded supports.

Attribute	Value	Description
CLASS
COORDS	Special	Specifies the coordinates of the hyperlink area within an image MAP. The format of the string depends on the SHAPE specified. SHAPE= "circ" or "circle" COORDS= "x1,y1,r" - Where x1,y2 are the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r is the radius of the circle. SHAPE= "poly" or "polygon" COORDS= "x1,y1,x2,y2...xn,yn" - Where each x,y pair contains the coordinates of one vertex of the polygon. SHAPE= "rect" (default) or "rectangle" COORDS= "x1,y1,x2,y2" - Where x1,y1 are the coordinates of the upper-left corner of the rectangle and x2,y2 are the coordinates of the lower-right coordinates of the rectangle. Note: Percentage values for SHAPE COORDS are not supported. If two or more regions overlap, the region defined first in the map definition takes precedence over subsequent regions. This means that AREA elements with NoHREF should generally be placed before ones with the HREF attribute.
HREF	URL	String that specifies that destination URL or anchor point
ID
NoHREF		Specifies that the region has no action, used to exclude areas in an image map.
SHAPE		Specifies the shape of an image map region, possible values are circ, circle, poly, polygon, rect, and rectangle.
	circ

STYLE
TARGET
