<area shape="rect" coords="78,348,182,395" onclick="nextquestion">

user clicks on that area 

function nextquestion(){
   window.location="contact.html";
}

did you try this ?

<area shape="rect" coords="78,348,182,395" href = 'contact.html'>

or 

<area shape="rect" coords="78,348,182,395" onclick="nextquestion()">

You are not executing the function in this code:

<area shape="rect" coords="78,348,182,395" onclick="nextquestion">

nextquestion only stays there as a unused variable pointing to the function.

Use nextquestion() to actually execute the function:

<area shape="rect" coords="78,348,182,395" onclick="nextquestion()">

Why don't use <area .... href="" />? Href is valid for area tag

You'd want to change your onclick to call the function, in JS this requires a set of parentheses after the name of the function like:

<area shape="rect" coords="78,348,182,395" onclick="nextquestion();">

Then in your JS

function nextquestion() {
    window.location.href = 'contact.html';
}
