Does Palm/HP WebOS 3.o / Enyo framework support image maps??

I have an HtmlContent control that contains "image maps" -- an image with links embedded in hot spots using the HTML "usemap" attribute. However my those links don't seem to be active, and I cannot click on them. (The same page when opened in a regular browser allows me to click, but when that HTML content is in an HtmlContent control, the links seem to have disappeared).

Any ideas?

Also i did check that the click events are not being fired -- the click handler for the HtmlContent control does not fire. This does not happen when the entire image has an href -- in that case things work fine. But if the image has a map associated with it, then the links are not active, and clicking on the link regions does not seem to fire click events.

It's not Enyo that needs to support imagemaps, but the lower level WebKit system. Right now, webOS should handle rectangular image maps, but polygon maps weren't being handled correctly.

  • My image map was rectangular (i.e. ), but no luck. Not sure if I understand your comment regarding the lower level WebKit system needing to support it, WebKit (say under Safari or Chrome) already supports it -- my image maps work fine under regular Chrome. – rajsen Aug 08 '11 at 01:14
  • The image map handling is managed by the graphics layer which is below the WebKit level and implemented using custom code on webOS. – Ben Combee Aug 23 '11 at 16:18
