201636 - XHTML image map does't work if the map has no _name_ attribute set

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 109445

Hi all,

according to the XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD the id attribute is required for a map.
However the following code doesn't work in Mozilla (does so e.g. in Konqueror):

<img src="image.jpg" usemap="#mymap" alt="An image"/>
<map id="mymap">
  <area href="forfirstarea" alt="1st area" shape="rect" coords="1,1,5,5"/>
</map>

Mozilla will display the image, but seeking with the mouse cursor will show no
reaction over the area - no mouse cursor change, no reaction on mouse clicks. If
I add the "name" attribute to the map (<map id="mymap" name="mymap">) Mozilla
will show what I expect with the image map. OK I could just pretend I want
backwards compatible code. But Mozilla should not need backwards compatible
XHTML code, should it? :-)

BTW, Mozilla is great otherwise

dup of Bug 109445.

Without a testcase I can't be sure, but I'm guessing the page is being sent as
text/html.  Do that and you get HTML processing, despite the XHTML doctype.  And
the name attribute is required in HTML.
