Good Morning everyone!
I have a client that wants me to write his navigation mostly as a picture
and then use
image maps to get to the actual links.
I am wondering, how would I go about convincing my client that this isn't
the best way
to do it? I personally think that some nice text links, styled properly
with CSS would
look just as good if not better then image maps.
Off the top of my head, I'd suggest adding a subsidiary list of text
links in addition to the image map. I do agree an actual image map
would be a step backward. Here is one alternative:

I thought about image maps. They were horribly outdated
As some replies have suggested, there are more techniques that are
fairly accessible under a variety of conditions.
Should you decide to make the attempt to satisfy your client, perhaps
you could return here with a mock-up and a description of what you
want to achieve? I feel sure we could help, given a specific problem
to tackle.
Good luck with your efforts.
Cordially,
David
