Opera 10.53 and the ALT attribute of area tag

[sbrioux]

Hello,
I have been Googleing around looking for a possibly solution. I am aware of the possible accessibility issues that this could raise.

But i'm wondering if there is a way to hide the alt attribute of an area tag from getting displayed. Right now I have a <map><area /></map> setup for an image. While the image is being loaded the alt attribute is showing up on the page. I'm looking for a way to not show this much like how Firefox handles it.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit:
Sorry I guess I should also say that I have tried the following CSS

map, area {
     display: none;
}
//As well as
map, area {
     visibility: hidden;
}
