Changes
Currently we only trigger view transitions for clicks on or within HTMLAnchorElements.
This excludes
<a href="" ...>
within SVG elements, which are technically not HTMLElements but SVGAElements, see #9001. This change fixes that issue and now also includes HTMLAreaElements, so you also get view transitions when you click inside your beloved image maps.Closes #9001
Testing
Added e2e test cases
Docs
Most users will not recognize the difference between an
<a href=
inside or outside of<svg>...</svg>
. So this part is not really an extension, but a bug fix. The support for image maps is an extension, but of a more theoretical nature. It is said that they were last used in the 90s.
