Hi,
I'm using something like the following for an image map in BBedit 10.5.4 with a document type of HTML5 <!DOCTYPE html>:
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Some image" usemap="#imgmap" />
<map name="imgmap">
<area shape="circle" coords="50,50,70" href="index.html" alt="Home Page" />
</map>
Where I've looked, this is the correct usage of these elements, but BBedit flags the following syntax errors:
1) Value of attribute “usemap” for element “<img>” must begin with one of {A-Z,a-z} followed by zero or more of {A-Z,a-z,0-9,-,_,:,.}.
2) Document type does not permit element “<area>” in content of element “<map>”.
3) Value of attribute “coords” for element “<area>” is invalid; Value must be one of {“Circle, Polygon, Rectangle”}.
Is there any obvious reason that I don't see (or am aware of) why these would be errors in HTML5?
Thanks,
Ed H.

The "coords" attribute is a list of integers, not names; "Value must be one of {“Circle, Polygon, Rectangle”}" only applies to the "shape" attribute. And the correct values are "circle", "poly", and "rect"; "polygon", "rectangle" (and "circ") are noted as non-conforming.
See <http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-content-0.html#the-map-element>.

They were aware of the issue and it will be addressed in a future release.
