HTMLAreaElement: hostname property

The hostname property of the HTMLAreaElement interface is a string containing either the domain name or IP address of the <area> element's URL. If the URL does not have a hostname, this property contains an empty string, "". IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are normalized, such as stripping leading zeros, and domain names are converted to IDN.

See URL.hostname for more information.

Value

A string containing the domain of the URL associated with the area element. It can be used as both a setter and getter.
