{{ApiRef("HTML DOM")}}
The ping property of the {{domxref("HTMLAreaElement")}} interface is a space-separated list of URLs. When the link is followed, the browser will send {{HTTPMethod("POST")}} requests with the body PING to the URLs.
It reflects the ping attribute of the {{HTMLElement("area")}} element.
[!NOTE] This property is not effective in Firefox and its usage may be limited due to privacy and security concerns.
<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"
