title: How to combine hotspot in an image map?
body: <p>I have created an image map with various hotspots and associated a link with each. One of the hotspots is discontiguous - Alaska and continental US on a world map. Is there a way to include two separate sets of coordinates in a single hotspot ? </p>
  
  <p>I use the Jquery maphilight plugin by David Lynch to highlight the hotspots on mouseover. Is there a way within the maplight plugin to combine the two regions in a single hotspot and assign them to a link in a single href? </p>
  
  <p>Is the maphilight plugin the best solution? Is there another plugin that would allow me to combine discontiguous poligons in the same area? </p>
  
  <p>Here's my image map code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;map name="world"&gt; 
      &lt;area shape="poly" id="alaska" coords="2,20, 14,16, 15,12, 16,10, 21,7, 36,5, 29,15, 32,19, 28,21, 20,15, 11,19, 2,22" href="unitedstates.html" alt="usa" /&gt; 
      &lt;area shape="poly" id="usa" coords="30,27, 62,27, 75,27, 65,36, 58,43, 58,48, 57,44, 52,43, 47,43, 46,46, 43,50, 26,41, 25,34" href="unitedstates.html" alt="usa" /&gt; 
      &lt;/map&gt;
  </code></pre>
