I feel like a total doofus, but how do you give coordinates for four
corners (in rect) using four single numbers?? The order must be
significant, but the documentation doesn't say what it should be.
Likewise with poly, how are the numbers interpreted as coords exactly?
It's all specified in the HTML specifications:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#h-13.6>. Rectangles
are determined by just two points, and pair of opposing corners, so
four numbers make sense for that. More specifically: for rectangles
it's left-x, top-y, right-x, bottom-y; for circles it's center-x,
center-y, radius; and for polygons it's just the x, y coordinates of
each point in turn. All coordinates are relative to the top left
pixel, which is 0, 0.
Oh, well why didn't I think to look there? :P
I actually guessed right, but was confused because it didn't appear to
work. I had my "default" line before my "rect" line, and then my rect
was ignored and just the default link applied everywhere. Is that
desirable?
cheers,
