To get the pathname part of the href attribute of an area in JavaScript, use the pathname property.
Example
You can try to run the following code to display the pathname part.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <img src = "/images/html.gif" alt = "HTML Map" border = "0" usemap = "#html"/> <map name = "html"> <area id="myarea" shape = "circle" coords = "154,150,59" href = "about.htm" target = "_self" > </map> <script> var x = document.getElementById("myarea").pathname; document.write("<br>Pathname: "+x); </script> </body> </html>
