Image map support in firefox, chrome and other browsers

Question

Are image maps supported in chrome and firefox? w3schools seems to suggest they are.

Given this, why would the following HTML fail? (Image is displayed but no links work - It does work correctly in IE)

<img src="Images/backgroundFinal.png" usemap="#mainImageMap" alt="MainBackground" style="border: none;" />
            <map id="mainImageMap">
                <area shape="rect" alt="Home Page" title="Home Page" coords="309,198,413,223" href="Default.aspx" target="" />
                <area shape="rect" alt="About me" title="About me" coords="245,334,319,353" href="About.aspx" target="" />
                <area shape="rect" alt="Gallery" title="Gallery" coords="437,271,497,300" href="Gallery.aspx" target="" />
                <area shape="rect" alt="Tattoo" title="Tattoo" coords="249,478,307,503" href="Tattoo.aspx" target="" />
                <area shape="rect" alt="Contacts" title="Contacts" coords="395,521,464,544" href="Contact.aspx" target="" />
            </map>

Solution

Try changing <map id="mainImageMap"> to <map name="mainImageMap">. You can keep the id if required but just make sure a nameattribute` is there.
