HTML Guide
The coordinates specified for an <area>
element using the coords
attribute are not in a valid format.
-
For a rectangle (
shape="rect"
), the formatX1,Y1,X2,Y2
is expected, where the top-left corner is specified byX1, Y1
and the bottom-right corner is specified byX2, Y2
, thereforeX1
must be lower thanX2
, andY1
must be lower thanY2
because the coordinates0, 0
start at the top-left. -
For a polygon (
shape="poly"
), the formatX1,Y1,X2,Y2,...,Xn,Yn
is expected to contain a list of coordinate pairs (at least 3, for a triangle). -
For a circle (
shape="circle"
), the formatX,Y,R
is expected whereX, Y
represents the coordinates of the center of the circle (from the top-left corner), andR
is the radius.

Links created with the <a> element no longer accept a shape attribute. In order to define image maps, use the <area> element instead.
