Default Case of Image Map Is Case Sensitive in IIS (151621)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 for Windows NT 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 for Windows NT 3.51
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 for Windows 95
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q151621 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
When you click an image map using Internet Explorer 2.0, the browser will
get stuck in an infinite loop trying to go to the link on the image map.
You will see the icon on the title bar flash and the contents of the status
bar will flash as Internet Explorer tries to reload the page. You can break
out of the loop using the Stop button on the browser.
CAUSE
Given the following image map:
DEFAULT http://server/file.htm
rect (0,1) (170,53) http://server/file1.htm
rect (264,26) (349,53) http://server/file2.htm
rect (187,23) (264,53) http://server/file3.htm
If you click an area not defined by one of the shapes, the DEFAULT case
should be returned by the server. Internet Information Server (IIS) returns
a Location: header that is blank. This causes Internet Explorer to loop
continuously.
WORKAROUND
Change the word DEFAULT in the map file to all lower case.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet
Information Server version 1.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.0.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
