The DOM WG discussed this issue and decided to take no action in responce to this issue for the DOM HTML Level 2 specification. The reasons are that there are no (or at least not enough) implementations out there that support external usemap's, and this is still an open issue in the HTML WG. Therefore this issue is now closed for DOM HTML Level 2. > The message at the following link introduces some issues we've > encountered with the usemap attribute of IMG and OBJECT. > > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-html-wg/2002JulSep/0083.html > > The issues relate to usemap referencing an external html file > containing the MAP information, and, in part, how those imported > elements exist within the DOM environment of the host document.
