< All the HTML Tags >

Definition:

The HTML <area> tag defines an area inside an image map, which is an interactive, clickable region within an image.

The <area> tag is used within an <map> element to create multiple clickable regions, each defined by attributes such as href for link destination, coords for shape boundaries, and shape to specify if the clickable area is rectangular, circular, or polygonal.

This tag plays a key role in enhancing user interactivity within images and is essential when creating complex navigational elements on webpages.
