Yes, and that is a good thing. In fact, every image map should always have both. > Thus, if i provide such code : > > <img src="foo.png" alt="bar" usemap="client-side-use-map" ismap> > > how is the User Agent supposed to behave ? Easy: Those that support client-side image maps ignore the ismap attribute. And those that don't yet support client-side image maps ignore the usemap attribute anyway, since they don't know it. In other words, the ismap attribute (combined with the appropriate anchor around the image) is there as a fallback. If the ismap attribute is not present, the image map is essentially useless for browsers that do not support client-side image maps. Marcus E.
