HTMLAreaElement: ping property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

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 element.

Note: This property is not effective in Firefox and its usage may be limited due to privacy and security concerns.
