why has firebug greyed-out my area element

<map name="theMap">
  <area alt="Find out more" style="cursor:pointer;" coords="0,0,10,10" shape="rect" href="#">
</map>

in firebug the area element is greyed out. There are no CSS styles affecting it. The map element shows clearly.

Solution

  • It was because I hadnt put a hash in the usemap attribute of my image.

    usemap="theMap" should have been usemap="#theMap"
