I am developing a WordPress plugin that allows a user to insert image maps on the image from the WordPress default image editor. I want some JavaScript for it so that when user selects some area on the image it returns the coordinates of the selected area to use within the area tag.

"I want some JavaScript for it so that when user selects some area on the image it returns the coordinates of the selected area" - I don't see how this question is WordPress-related. – Chip Bennett Feb 26 '12 at 17:22
I am seeing a lot of questions lately that relate to JS, CSS or HTML but are under the guise of a faulty plugin or plugin development itself. Maybe time for a meta post (if there isn't already one). – DigitalSea Feb 26 '12 at 22:33

I would suggest looking at this StackOverflow post - Image Map Editor - particularly the top answer's recommendation: imgAreaSelect.

imgAreaSelect is a jQuery plugin for selecting a rectangular area of an image. It allows web developers to easily implement image cropping functionality, as well as other user interface features, such as photo notes (like those on Flickr).

+1 - and more if I could - for going to StackOverflow to find a related question and the right answer. – Chip Bennett Feb 26 '12 at 17:24
