Sets or retrieves the coordinates of a hyperlink AREA within an image MAP.

Inline	<AREA COORDS = sCoords ... >
Script	object.coords = sCoords ]

sCoords

String specifying the coordinates. The format of this string is dependent upon the value of the SHAPE attribute of the AREA element. See the Remarks section below.

The property is read/write with no default value.

The format of the sCoord string is dependent upon the value of the SHAPE attribute as follows:

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 vertice of the polygon.
SHAPE= "rect" 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 upper-right coordinates of the rectangle.

The following example provides the full code for an image map of the solar system. The coords of each AREA link to an individual image.
