I would like to put an onclick event on an area element. Here is my setup:
Try :
<img src="wheel.png" width="2795" height="2795" alt="Weels" usemap="#map">
<map name="map">
<area shape="poly" coords="2318,480,1510,1284" alt="otherThing" href="anotherFile">
</map>
You souldn't want to add onClick
events on area, documentation :
The tag defines an area inside an image-map (an image-map is an image with clickable areas).
Edit : your coords are a bit weird since its supposed to the couples of each vertices (so right now, your polygon is a line)
Based on your comments, you just need this:
$("#image").click( function(){
alert("clicked");
//your code here
});

Its the shape that's the problem. Your code has set shape equal to polygon but only has 4 points in the coordinates attribute. You need to set shape to rectangle instead.
Set shape="rect" like this:
<img id="image" src="wheel.png" width="2795" height="2795" usemap="#Map" >
<map name="Map">
<area class="blue" onclick="myFunction()" shape="rect" coords="2318,480,1510,1284" href="#">
</map>
Use a class for all elements you want to listen on, and optionally an attribute for behavior:
<map name="primary">
<area shape="circle" coords="75,75,75" class="popable" data-text="left circle text">
<area shape="circle" coords="275,75,75" class="popable" data-text="right circle text">
</map>
<img usemap="#primary" src="http://placehold.it/350x150" alt="350 x 150 pic">
<div class='popup hidden'></div>
Then add your event listeners to all elements in the class:
const popable = document.querySelectorAll('.popable');
const popup = document.querySelector('.popup');
let lastClicked;
popable.forEach(elem => elem.addEventListener('click', togglePopup));
function togglePopup(e) {
popup.innerText = e.target.dataset.text;
// If clicking something else, first restore '.hidden' to popup so that toggle will remove it.
if (lastClicked !== e.target) {
popup.classList.add('hidden');
}
popup.classList.toggle('hidden');
lastClicked = e.target; // remember the target
}

I found this question by @TimorEranAV HTML map that displays text instead of linking to a URL and was marked as duplicate, but i think what he was expecting is this,
<html>
<head>
<title> Program - Image Map</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="new.png" width="145" height="126" alt="Planets" usemap="#planetmap">
<map name="planetmap">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126" href="sun.htm" alt="Sun" title = "Sun">
<area shape="rect" coords="82,0,100,126" href="mercur.htm" alt="Mercury" title = "Mercury">
</map>
</body>
</html>
Here the title tag gives the opportunity to add a hover text(tip) to the image map.
Pay attention:
Attribute href is obligatory, without it the area-tag does nothing!
To add a click event, you'll need to block default href.
Your code should start as follows:
$(".blue").on("click", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
/*
your code here
*/
});
