Currently, the following document validates: <!DOCTYPE html> <title></title> <map name=foo> <area> </map> But perhaps you have a different <area> element that somehow makes the validator think that href is required. Can you please post a URL (or an exact, copy & paste copy of a document) for a document that fails validation with the error message you quoted? -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
