Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- on a new page, create 2 identical <imagemap> tags with identical content (including size)
- note that the maps generated, have identical names. (e.g. <map name="ImageMap_d4cc6d14751f9bd4">)
- also note that this is illegal, as noted here: basically, ids and names share the same namespace, and it's illegal to have 2 identical ids, 2 identcal names, or an id and name which are identical
this seems like a small and insignificant violation, but it breaks some scripts, and confuses the DOM.
What happens?:
imagemap extension creates non-unique names
What should have happened instead?:
imagemap extension should create unique names
