<area/> Tag Syntax
Rules for coding HTML area/
elements
<area .../>
<area/> Content Model
Contents of the area element
Content: Empty. All properties are coded using attributes.
Since the <area/>
tag is a void element, it is not allowed to have any content, even HTML comments and therefore should always be coded as a self-closing standalone tag, ending with the delimiter string />
rather than just >
(<area .../>
).
