Besides, images maps are a royal pain to maintain.

Not as much of a pain as some of the faux-image-maps that I have seen
done with 'pure css' or even css + JavaScript. There are tools out there
that make true image-maps point-and-click simple, whereas a small change

Hi Jason,
Why don't you turn the convincing angle up-side-down? Instead of pulling the
'accessibility' pitch focus on the performance and customizability of having
a CSS-driven navigation (accessibility will follow naturally).
Perhaps you could prepare two versions of a similar looking

Hi Jason,
I would most certainly not allow the use of an image map. They are
only useful for defining polygon or circular areas on maps (or
similar) as links. They are not good for a sites primary navigation.
For navigation that is consisting of an image I would create an
unordered list:
Agreed Jason, totally blind users may be small in number but turning away
those with partial sight could hurt your clients bottom line; the trick is
to invite in the missing 11% without making the site so boring that
normal users wander off elsewhere.
Further it may help to widen the

I have a client that wants me to write his navigation mostly as a picture

image maps to get to the actual links.
That's not necessarily an inaccessible method, not completely anyway. Take
my MapPop [1] for example. It's a list and CSS driven. works with keyboard.

Hi Rick,
If any client were to tell me how to code their website I would
probably tell them to go elsewhere. The client is more than likely

I dislike image maps as there are so many better ways to do
navigtation. However, client side image maps are 508 compliant and
accessible if coded correctly. Server side image maps are not.

Even if the text replacement should not look as satisfying as using a
whole big image with image maps on it, you can still split up that image
into the navigation part and use image replacement techniques where the
Text is still preserved. Since most of those techniques hide the Text
