did you get a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>blank message as well?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) When I last looked the HTML4 standard never
clarified whether percent <BR>units in an integer list for the COORDS= values in
an <AREA> where <BR>relative to the size of the pixmap file, or relative
to the displayed size <BR>(ie. relative to the WIDTH= and HEIGHT= values of the
<IMG> using the <MAP>). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had really hoped the percent units were
relative to the displayed size, which would make it so one set of COORDS= could
be used for different sizes of the same image; making imagemap maintenance much
<BR>easier when using resized images. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Empirically, I found this not to be the case' at
least with opera, firefox, <BR>chrome, iexplorer, .... and whatever else I tried
at the time. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Remembering this, I looked at the HTML5 spec. to
see how it described the use of percent units for coordinates. <BR>A) I found it
said coordinates could only be a list of integers as described in 2.4.3.6. Does
this mean percent coordinates are not allowed <BR>in HTMl5? <BR>B) As I read
2.4.3.6 it states in the first paragraph that the only allowed <BR>delimiter is
a comma; and specifically states spaces are not allowed. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But in rule 6 of 2.4.3.6 it seems to imply a space,
comma, or semi-colon is an allowed delimiter in a "List of Integers".
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So .. did I miss something or are percent-units no
longer allowed as coordinates? What are the delimiters allowed in a list of
integers? And, I <BR>wish percent units scaled to the displayed image size ( as
I mentioned in <BR><A
href="http://home.comcast.net/~urbanjost/semaphore.html">http://home.comcast.net/~urbanjost/semaphore.html</A>
). If percent units are permitted, I think it would be worth mentioning what
they are a percent <BR>of (image file units or displayed image size
units).</FONT></DIV>
