Referencing an Image's Map's Link's Details

[Lucanus]

Hi All,

I have scoured my JavaScript book, but can't find the answer, so I
hope that you can help...

I have a banner on my webpage, called (creatively) "banner".
This banner uses a map called "bannerMap".
The map has an area called "homeLink".
The area's href is "home.htm".

How do I reference this href?

I have tried:
document.bannerMap.homeLink.href - FAILED
document.banner.bannerMap.homeLink.href - FAILED
document.homeLink.href - FAILED
document.banner.homeLink.href - FAILED

Has anyone tried this before? Is it possible? What is the answer?!

Thanks
Luke

I assume you mean name="homeLink" or id="homeLink". It is recommended
to use id. Then, if all else fails, you can do
document.getElementById("homeLink")
The area's href is "home.htm". How do I reference this href?
Try:
document.links['homeLink'].href
document.bannerMap.homeLink.href - FAILED
document.banner.bannerMap.homeLink.href - FAILED
document.homeLink.href - FAILED
document.banner.homeLink.href - FAILED

You shouldn't assume that the name of an element can be used as a
property name of document (or window, or anything except for the
appropriate collections).
