Append image to HTML Area tag with JavaScript

I'm trying to add a click event to a html area on a map. If the area is clicked, a image should show up just in this area.

For example: 

<area alt="" id="santiago" title="santiago" href="#" shape="poly" coords="225,692,281,695,277,744,225,743" />

Javascript:

window.onload = function() {

  document.getElementById("santiago").addEventListener("click", function (e) {
      alert("CLICKED");
    var img = document.createElement('img');
    img.setAttribute('src', 'images/house.png');
    e.target.appendChild(img);
  });

};

The alert message is shown up if the area is clicked but the image won't show up. But it seems to be loaded because i can find the image in my code within the area tag. Can somebody help please? Thanks!
