Example :
<img src="tmahal.jpeg" usemap = #imgmap border=0>
<map name=imgmap>
<area shape=Rect Coords=30,30,59,59 Href="taj.jpg" Target="_blank">
<area shape=Rect Coords=100,60,129,80 Href="elephant.gif" Target="_blank" >
</map>
Result : <map name=imgmap>
<area shape=Rect Coords=30,30,59,59 Href="taj.jpg" Target="_blank">
<area shape=Rect Coords=100,60,129,80 Href="elephant.gif" Target="_blank" >
