This bug is invalid, I think. This map does not have name attribute
(http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/objects.html#h-13.6):

  name        CDATA          #REQUIRED -- for reference by usemap --

So this example should be fixed (<map id="mymap" name="mymap">). 
what you linked, state that map does have a map attribute. but the link is to 
the html 4.0 TR. the document is written in xhtml. where name is illegal, and as 
such, I use id:




http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.10




(the html validates, and, I think correct)




anyway, onmousemove works, and onmouseout doesn't. (yes I know, new bug report, 
well, if this is confirmed, I'll file the onmouseout)

Oh, thanks, I miss XML part. You could consult bug 109445 about this stuff.

well, I didn't know, that turning the page into valid XHTML actually ran into 
another bug. I changed the map and gave it a name, and it now works again.




but it doesn't change that some events dont fire. maybe it's related to the 
other, but I think it's distinctly different. anyway, I added an onmousemove 
event to the green area, and that fires. while the onmouseover still does not.

I produced a new test case, html strict:

the bug as originally reported, is still in effect.

Well, there is another bug 110072 (onMouseOver/onMouseOut event problems with
image maps). Seems, that you second example duped this one.
you are correct :)
