There's nothing in the specifications that prevents from writing <img .. usemap="foo.html#map">, but browsers haven't bothered implementing it. Implementation review: http://www.w3.org/People/mimasa/test/imagemap/results (Paradoxically, some text-only browsers support external client-side imagemaps, graphic browsers don't.) > there are usability/accessibility issues with imagemaps so you probably > don't want to use one anyway Indeed. The crystal ball tells that the reason for asking that the OP wants to have a navigation bar on all pages, implemented as an image map. That's a bad idea even if we don't consider the problem that the map needs to be duplicated (which is really a small problem when e.g. SSI includes are available - the other problems are much more serious). -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ Pages about Web authoring: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www.html |

They say it's good for your health, so in borderline cases, laugh as a maniac. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ Pages about Web authoring: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www.html |
