Bug 238163

Summary: AX: Cannot tab through image <map> <area> elements
Product: WebKit Reporter: alehm
Component: AccessibilityAssignee: Nobody <webkit-unassigned>

Please consider the following example: https://jsfiddle.net/k6vzpou9/ (taken from MDN with some adjustments).

Actual behavior: Tabbing using keyboard through `<area>` elements does not happen.
Expected behavior: Tabbing using keyboard through `<area>` elements should be permitted (works in Chrome and Firefox).

Additional information:
https://w3c.github.io/html-aria/#el-area-no-href states that button or link roles may be used.

I wonder why it's not possible to tab ("Option + Tab" doesn't work either) through `<area>` elements on Safari. Please advise.
