Last Updated :
31 Jul, 2022
The Map areas Collection in HTML DOM is used to return the collection of all <area> elements in an image-map. The area elements are sorted as they appear in the source code.
Syntax:
mapObject.areas
Properties: It returns the number of area in the collection of elements.
Methods: The DOM Map areas Collection contains three methods which are listed below:
- [index]: It is used to return the <form> element of the specified index. The index value starts with 0. NULL value is returned if the index value is out of range.
- item(index): It is used to return the <form> element of specified index. The index value starts with 0. NULL value is returned if the index value is out of range. This method performs similarly to the above method.
- namedItem(id): It is used to return the <form> element from the collection which matches the specified id. NULL value is returned if the id does not exist.
Return Value : It returns an HTMLCollection Object that represents all <area> elements in an image-map in the document. The elements in the collection are sorted in the way they appear in the source code.
