HTML Map Tag

["Typrowicz, Jim" <ji...@gwl.com>]

I am having a problem with XSL and the HTML Map tag.

I have the following XSL:

	<IMG ...><MAP ...><AREA ...></AREA></MAP></IMG>

I'm using Cocoon/Xalan to transform this XSL into HTML. The problem is that
the end tags are stripped out.  This is fine except for the </MAP> end tag
which is required for Netscape (IE seems to be more forgiving).  Netscape
won't recognize the Map tag without an end tag.

Is this a know problem?  Any workarounds?

You know, that in HTML img is an _empty_(*) element, don't you?
Have a look at
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.6.1> for more
information on client-side image maps.

(*) empty elements don't have content.
