I’m trying to implement a JQuery script to process some areas inside an image map.
I’m using $(‘area[shape=”poly”]’) as a selector to obtain the areas I’m interested in. It is working fine in IE8 and Firefox, but it is not selecting the elements in IE6 or IE7.
This is a test page that shows this problem. I don’t know if this is a JQuery bug or I am doing something wrong.

<img id="img1" src="nothing.gif" style="width:300px; height:300px; border: 2px solid black" usemap="#map1"/>
<map id="map1">
<area shape="rect" title="rectArea" coords="126,112,231,217" alt=""/>
<area shape="poly" title="polyArea1" coords="274,72,262,70,251,68,240,67,228,66,217,67,206,68,194,70,183,72,181,63,192,60,204,58,216,57,228,56,240,57,252,58,264,60,276,63" alt=""/>
<area shape="poly" title="polyArea2" coords="241,194,235,193,228,193,222,193,216,194,196,119,204,117,212,116,220,115,228,115,237,115,245,116,253,117,261,119" alt=""/>
</map>
</body>
</html>
This is showing 2 in IE8 and Firefox and 0 in IE6-7
Thanks,

It appears to work if you uppercase the value:
