Algorithm

Selection

Set1

All the <area> tags, defined within a <map> tag whose the "id" attribute corresponds to the "usemap" attribute of an <img> tag, with a "href" and an "alt" attribute

Set2

All the elements of Set1 identified as a CAPTCHA (see Notes for details about CAPTCHA characterisation).

• on one attribute of the element
• or within the text of the element
• or on one attribute of one parent of the element
• or within the text of one parent of the element
• or on one attribute of a sibling of the element
• or within the text of a sibling of the element
