How to draw shapes in HTML

[bor003]

Hi,

I have noticed that in some pages people have put shapes around images to make them into a link. An example is:

Quote:

<area href="link" coords="Num,num,Num,num" shape="poly"/>

But does anyone have a site that goes through this as I am not sure how it works. Also do any browsers read it differently such as IE?

Thanks for your help

I believe what you are referring are called image maps.
