Sigh... stupid browsers.
The image has an alt field, and the image map has alt fields for every
link. A properly designed browser would display the alt fields instead
of the image and the user would get full functionality. This includes
blind people using screen readers. This works correctly in lynx for
example (text-only browser) but it doesn't on Firefox.
Stupid browsers indeed. I was using Firefox, where the ALT didn't
show and the link didn't work, and I didn't remember that an
image with an ALT attribute would have a working link in at least
some other browsers. I've now brought your page up in Opera and
IE, where it shows the ALT and has a clickable link to the
English page (because that's the first link on the list for the
image map?).
However, Eric just checked both your page and my page on a Mac
using the Safari2 browser with graphics off. In both cases, there
is no indication of a graphic there, no Alt, nothing clickable.
Mind you, I find it hard to imagine a Mac using turning graphics
off. :-)
