Image maps

Sorta odd question maybe.

 

Debugging a page the auto-generates image maps for a project I am using and ran into some issues with the positioning (not a big deal really just have to tweak the code).

 

However it is very tedious to bugcheck the shapes of the areas within the map since I cannot physically see them in the browser window, so my question is!

 

Is there any way to outline the <area> shapes with a border during development to easier see where they do not line up properly?

I thought image maps had gone the way of the dodo? Have you tried inspecting them within firebug?

 

Hehe well they sorta have gone extinct I guess, but use them in a transparent image that overlays as isometric map so was sorta an easy solution to my problem, e.g. have to define the isometric rollover grids somehow and since they aren't square an image map with poly co-ordinates was the cleanest solution to the problem.

 

Firebug doesn't handle area shapes that well does it?

Not sure. I haven't seen any for a few years to be honest.

 

In worst case I have to think up a new solution I guess, know anything besides image map that can draw polygon object into page :P
