Not what? In that example it's outside the <img>, as I said it should (but, since it's HTML and not XHTML, the <img> has no self-closing mark).

I played with image maps some time ago and had some problems with the standard example that almost every web site lists. For some reason epubcheck didn't like the pound sign (#) in usemap="#shapes", which most likely is a bug. Did your epub pass epubcheck?

There's a sample in the ePub 2.0.1 spec:

                <img src="example.gif" usemap="map"
                        title="Example Map"
                        alt="A picture of an example." />
                <map name="map">
                        <area href="example1.html"
                                alt="Link to the first example."
                                shape="rect" coords="0,0,118,28" />
                        <area href="example2.html"
                                alt="Link to the second example"
                                shape="rect" coords="184,0,276,28" />
                </map>

It's as you say, it uses "name" (not "id", as in anchors), and no # sign in the "usemap".

Anyway, after removing the pound sign my test ePub passed epubcheck and worked in Readium, but not in ADE.

I haven't been able to make even simple image links (<a ...><img .../></a>) work in ADE.
