title: why has firebug greyed-out my area element
body: <pre><code>&lt;map name="theMap"&gt;
    &lt;area alt="Find out more" style="cursor:pointer;" coords="0,0,10,10" shape="rect" href="#"&gt;
  &lt;/map&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in firebug the area element is greyed out. There are no CSS styles affecting it. The map element shows clearly.</p>
