Hi All,
I am encountering a strange problem in image mapping technique,
I have mapped a certain area of an image using polygon tool and picked the
coordinates, I applied mouseover event to swap the image but I am able to
see the white dashed border along with the image during the output this
I was able to recreate my situation with text and bg images. I am fascinated
how this thread grew. All great things to keep in mind. TY all.

Still?
Server side image maps are as inaccessible as ever.
Client side image maps had issues last time I looked at them, but things might
have improved since then.

You can use transparent images and negative margins.
The simplest way to set this up would be to use a program like Fireworks
(which lets you move stuff around freely and gives you an x and y).
Cut up all of your states into separate images with transparent backgrounds.
Then you can bring them

In the US map problem, an image map may make sense.
However, there are many more in which an image map doesn't make sense. For
example, having a graphical menu with an image map, having a header image
map for links, etc. These would be better done using separate images.
Also, sometimes a

That map also illustrates the problem with image maps.
Disable images and refresh the page. It becomes completely unusable (granted
there are ways to make the image map work better with no images, but this is
the more common situation).
If they were all separate images with their own alt tags,
As far as I know, image maps are not deprecated... just often abused so you
should really consider your options. I agree with your little analogy as
well. I'd evaluate exactly what the problem is and then pick a solution.
For example, if all the shapes in the potential map are square, it'd be
That is unnecessary - area's support alt. With both CSS and images

fallback css; if using a text-browser, it could render it as a list -

Agreed.
However, with the separate images you can put them in an unordered list
yourself to control the display a bit more closely.
I'm not saying any of these are 100% good all the time. I like to soak up as
many different techniques as possible and choose the one that is the most
appropriate
