Yeah, the problem is, what sort of alt attribute would you set on each pixel, and how would that be displayed to a user? For a 200 x 200 map, you surely don't want to generate and send a a <map> consisting of 4,000 <area> elements. ;) Just for size considerations that's worthless, and I daresay that any interface that would be built would be inherently inaccessible just from the number of choices. ;) --Kynn Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ ACCESSIBILITY IS DYNAMIC.
