156.0. "help with <fig>" by ACISS2::GRILLS () Tue Feb 11 1997 21:32

    I have Netscape v4.0 and Internet Explorer v3.01 but neither seems to
    be able to handle <fig> to load an image. <img> works just fine
    but, I am taking a course to get the certification and can't get past
    <fig>.

FIG



Description 

     The FIG element is an advanced form of the IMG element to define an image,
 with optional overlays, text elements and "hotzones", to be inserted within a 
document. The structure of the contents of the FIG element expects a series of 
optional overlay images defined by OVERLAY elements, followed by an optional 
CAPTION element, followed by text to be presented as an alternative to the 
image(s) and which may contain normal text elements as well as hypertext links 
defined by A elements with SHAPE attributes to identify "hotzones" on the image,
finally completed by an optional CREDIT element. 

Minimum Attributes 

     <FIG SRC="..."></FIG> 

All Possible Attributes 

     <FIG SRC="..." ID="..." LANG="..." CLASS="..." CLEAR=left|right|all|"..." 
	NOFLOW MD="..." ALIGN=left|right|center|justify|bleedleft|bleedright 
	WIDTH=value HEIGHT=value UNITS="..." IMAGEMAP="..."></FIG> 

Elements Allowed Within... 

     <OVERLAY> <CAPTION> <CREDIT> 

     -TBD- (ed: all normal markup elements?) 

Allowed In Content Of... 

     -TBD- 

Variations 

     The FIG element is proposed in Version 3 as a sophisticated alternative 
to the IMG element, especially tO enhance the capabilities of the ALT text 
for non-graphical presentations of HTML documents, as well as a way to 
accomplish the common use of the ISMAP attribute of the IMG element without 
the need for a responding cgi-bin program. 

Rgds,
Hans

	This likely answers .0's question, it would appear none
	of the browsers listed in .0 support this "proposed" tag ...
