Image Map – help with valadation

hi guys,

first time working with image maps, need a little help! i closed the area tag with /> but that gave me more errors…

here is my code im working with

[CODE]<div id=”cardboard”>
<img src=”images/cardboard_index.gif” alt=”ALC” usemap=”#circle_btn”/>
</div>
<map id=”circle_btn”>
<area shape=”circle” coords=”571,273,46″ href=”/html/index.html” target=”_blank” onfocus=”this.blur()” alt=”ALC”
</map>[/CODE]

and here are the errors

[QUOTE]

Error Line 31 column 0: unclosed start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES.
</map>

Error Line 31 column 5: end tag for “area” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.
</map>
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close” an element, that is, ending it with “/>” instead of “>”.

Info Line 30 column 0: start tag was here.
<area shape=”circle” coords=”571,273,46″ href=”/html/index.html” target=”_blank”
