Word 2007 HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook 2007
( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338201.aspx )
Word and Outlook 2007 support server side image maps. However, I have
not been able to in any way make Outlook 2007 properly handle server
side image maps.
For instance the following code works fine in Outlook 2000, 2003, OE,
Thunderbird, and Apple Mail ... but not in Outlook 2007.
<a href="http://www.example.com/test.map">
<img src="http://www.example.com/test.gif" ismap="ismap" />
</a>
In other clients, clicking on the image works as expected, it opens a
browser with a url of something like:
http://www.example.com/test.map?157,20
However, in Outlook 2007 it never passes in the coordinates,
essentially ignoring the ISMAP tag completely, all you get passed to
the browser is:
http://www.example.com/test.map
If someone can show me working server side image map html I'd love to
see it, otherwise someone needs to fix the documentation so people
don't keep beating their heads against the desk dealing with an
already frustrating bunch of changes due to the Office teams inability
to support HTML properly in Word, or whatever the excuse for the
change is this week.
Yes, I'm more than slightly frustrated.
