HTMLAreaElement: ping property

View on MDN ↗

The ping property of the HTMLAreaElement interface is a space-separated list of URLs. When the link is followed, the browser will send POST requests with the body PING to the URLs.

It reflects the ping attribute of the <area> element.

[!NOTE] This property is not effective in Firefox and its usage may be limited due to privacy and security concerns.

Example

<map name="example-map" id="example-map">
  <area
    href="https://example.com"
    ping="https://example-tracking.com https://example-analytics.com"
    alt="example" />
</map>

const areaCollection = document.getElementById("example-map").areas;
console.log(areaCollection[0].ping); // Output: "https://example-tracking.com https://example-analytics.com"
