As you move the mouse over the Rectangle (COORDS="53,85,163,180") you will get a message in the Status Line. This will also be the case when you move the mouse over the Circle or the Polygon.

TITLE="You Are On The Polygon" is used to display the tooltip message when the cursor is over the polygon.

SideBar - Whenever possible you should include an ALT tag with your Images.
