Href on line 5 is incorrect just with a quick look. I'd have to check the rest when I'm by a PC.

I had a feeling the href="" was wrong but I do not know how to fix the problem. I even tried using the website I have obtain the image from using the href.

Ok, so I missed the other issue you have listed above which is the values you assigned to "coords". The four values you assign to cords should be top, left, right, bottom. So for example, if you want to create a hot spot in the top left corner, it would be set to something like coords="0,0,50,50" for the following example code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div>
  <img usemap="#greenMap" src="image1.jpg" width="100" height="100"/>
  <map id="greenMap" name="greenMap">
    <area shape="rect" alt="green apple" coords="0,0,50,50" href="#" />
  </map>
</div>
</body>
</html>

As you can see, you have an image element. assign the src attribute to the correct URL where the image is located.

Secondly, for the hotspot, on the area element, assign the correct destination URL to the href attribute.
