Martin Honnen,

With full DOM access provided by IE4+ and NN6 (which might be called 
NN6 by marketing hype) it is possible. Just get a reference to the 
HTMLAreaElement e.g.
  var area = document.all ? document.all['areaID'] :
               document.getElementById('areaID');
and change the coords string:
  area.coords = '20, 20, 40, 40';
With NN4 (or older) changing the coords of an area element is not 
possible.
