Javascript (JS) Area Examples: HTML DOM Object – Javascript (JS) Area Examples

Purpose: – Illustrates the JavaScript syntax for working with the Area Object. An Area allows you to create a hyperlink to another document or to a different point in the same document. The href property allows an Area to link to another document, and the name property allows the Area to link to another point within the current document. There are two ways to find Areas in a document: 1) use getElementById(); or 2) search through the Areas() array in the document object.
