Re: Cougar DTD img USEMAP & ISMAP

Once upon a time Aymeric Poulain Maubant shaped the electrons to say...
>I'm not sure of this, but does the following extract of the cougarDTD

Yes, it has always been that way.

>how is the User Agent supposed to behave ?

If it recognizes USEMAP that takes precedence, if not it ignores it and
uses ISMAP.

>Why not define a exclusion rule between usemap and ismap (or do I miss
>something here ?) ?

Because you WANT to allow both - client side maps reduce server load
and speed user interaction - but not all browsers support them.  So the
older ones will call your server, but the newer ones get the benefit.
