Hi all

Stupid msxml woes aside (and I can seem to run Joe Clarke's stuff
either, so it must be my pc...), I was just reading up on the HTML Map
element.

The W3C says that it can be used to group navigational elements together
(not just image maps).

http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#group-bypass (the accessibility
stuff)

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#edef-MAP (the spec
stuff)


I've never seen this used anywhere other than for image maps - is there
a reason for this?

Are there any pros and cons to this?

Cheers

Francis
