FIX Image Map Editor Issue in Outlook

We've noticed that when editing an Image Map on an image, the <map> tag will always be placed at the end of the HTML. While this not a problem in general, as most Browsers seem able to understand it, it can break the Image Map if such HTML is viewed in Outlook 2005-2010 under certain conditions:

 

Steps to reproduce, using the Rad Editor demo:

 

* create a table with 1 column, and 3 rows.

* Insert an image into the middle row

* Right Click Image -> Image Map Editor -> Add a couple of hot areas

* Close Image Map Editor

 

The editor will generate HTML from this, that has the <IMG> tag properly placed in the middle row column, but the associated <MAP> tag placed AFTER the closing </TABLE>. This will break the image map in Outlook, because it apparently requires the <map> to be in the same block or inline element as the associated <img>.

 

Is there a way to make the editor always place the <map> tag immediately after the <img> it belongs to, instead if placing it at the end of the current HTML?

The latest web and desktop versions of MS Outlook support mapped images within a table cell, the map tag of which is placed outside of the table element.
