RC What confuses me about image maps, is that, even where there is alt text, if I switch images off in my browser, I get nothing, just blank areas where the image would be, running the mouse over the image area doesn't get me the alt text. If I click on part of the image area, the image appears. I guess its one of those things that you really have to test with a screen reader. I'm also still wondering whether it would be good to still have text links, for anyone who doesn't see well enough to read any text etc that might be on the image. CMN It is good to have for people who cannot figure out what is going on in the image because it is too small to see, and it is good to have generally for opeople wo do not get the images but are using a "standard" browser, or an older screenreader. cheers Charles
