136841 - The HTML tag IMAGE MAP 's display style should be none

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[Gilbert Fang]

Why the Map's style is inline(see the quirk.css)? Actually , the map is just
like a  java script: 
one or more form control can call one java script function ;
one or more image can use one map definition. 
And both map and js are not be shown only by  themself.
the script's style is "none", so I think the map's style should also be defined
as "none".

I don't agree. This would change how invalid markup is displayed, for example:

<map>Hello World</map>

would not display anything with your change.
But IE6, Opera6, Netscape 4.7 and Konqueror ALL display the text.

I don't really see any need to change this and it will likely break some pages.

Recommending INVALID/WONTFIX.

I looked at the spec. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#edef-MAP
and found this sentence:
"Note that the user agent should render block-level content of a MAP element."

--> INVALID.
