LYNX-DEV ISMPAP/USEMAP/ALT and <TAB>

[smcgee]

Hi all!

I recall some time back I was complaining (typical of me isn't it) about
the way ISMAP and USEMAP displayed, especially in combination with an ALT
string. I recall some discussion on the subject, and some changes by Fote
to modify the behavior to be somewhat more like I thought it should be. 

Today I was working on some new stuff for the SLCC web site, and I got to
the point where I wanted to check the Lynx compatability. The page in question
is currently at http://www.slcc.edu/administration/index2.html. When I looked
at the image map section at the bottom to see how it came out, I see the
usual [ISMAP]-[USEMAP] indicating I had neglected the ALT. I added an ALT
string to the <IMG> tag and to my suprise, the [USEMAP] went away, but the
ALT string didn't show up! 

The code I am using is vanilla 2.7.1 with Fotemods from July 9.

Is this correct and I missunderstood what should happen or is it working
incorrectly?

On a side note, the page has a table at the top to divide a list into two
columns. At first that looked pretty bad with Lynx, but I added a few <TAB>
tags and it now comes out really nicely! See below:
