Yes. From the HTML 4.0 spec:
coords = coordinates [CN]
This attribute specifies the position a shape on the screen.
The number and order of values depends on the shape being defined.
Possible combinations:
rect: left-x, top-y, right-x, bottom-y.
[...]
Coordinates are relative to the top, left corner of the object.
All values are lengths. All values are separated by commas.
So it should be top-y < bottom-y, due to the origin at
the top left corner (that also confused me at first).

| (...) Yep, that's right: rect(x1,y1,x2,y2) I had the coordinates all screwed up. I have no idea how I managed to get it wrong as my HTML code book gives the above general code. I guess I'd better lay off the crack :] It should be fixed now. T. J. (23 years ago, 3-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)
