(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[grabies]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7

Despite use of <area> tags entire image shows as a link, and the <area> links doesn't link to nowhere.

code:
  <img src="img/ffs_final.jpg" width="1024" height="711" usemap="#map1" border=0 id="baggrund" alt="Baggrundsbillede - Silkelagener">
  <map id="map1" name="Mail og countdown-links">
    <area href="mailto:[e-mail]" shape="rect" coords="768,669,928,689" alt="Kontakt ForFucksSake">
    <area href="#" onclick="PopUp('countdown.php');" shape="poly" coords="913,522,942,507,959,522,954,539,996,567,1000,604,980,637,955,646,917,637,898,607,901,566,923,548,913,538" alt="Nedtælling til launch">
  </map>

end of code

note: i'm certain it's not the javascript that is causing trouble, as the it works perfectly on text-links.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The e-mail field (bottom) and the watch (bottom right) should link to 2 different subpages, respectively. The background image shouldn't link to anywhere.

Works for me, using Mozilla1.7 and with current trunk build.

First, I looked into the code and changed the html-code from:
<map id="map1" name="Mail og countdown-links">
to:
<map name="map1">
which then makes it work in Mozilla/Firefox (1.0.7), and which is the reason it worked when you stopped by the page. Wasnt thinking clearly when i updated page, sorry for that.

Both solutions gets verified by the w3c validator, and works in other browsers that I have tested.

I think this is a duplicate of bug 109445, not?
