IE4, JAWS 3.2, W98 produces: Interesting. I get very similar results to Steve's, except that the AREA alts aren't read. No "Picture of compass" or anything. Must be some different settings somewhere, but I can't think where. All four test imagemaps behave exactly the same for me. Netscape 4.05 gives same results that others have reported: Only reads URLs of hotspots, image map itself only reported as numbered graphic.
