In HTML 4, the height and width attributes take a Length value: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-length Thus 100% is fine, but 45px is an error since it isn't a plain integer value. In HTML 5, however: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-map-element.html#dom-dim-width > The width and height attributes on img, iframe, embed, object, > video, and, when their type attribute is in the Image Button state, > input elements may be specified to give the dimensions of the visual > content of the element (the width and height respectively, relative > to the nominal direction of the output medium), in CSS pixels.

This removes the percentage option provided by HTML 4 (possibly an error on the part of the spec authors, since they tend not to remove things from HTML 4), but maintains the "Do not specify units" rule for pixel values. In short, the validator is right and this is not a bug. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
