Image Maps:
Example of a poorly labeled
image map.
This clip art image has five links (hotspots) placed on
it. Can you find them all?
Because the links are not clearly marked nor intuitive the
user has to rely on the cursor to find each link.
Did you notice that each link had it's own alternative
text tag indicating where the hotspot takes the user? Again, this is
especially important to the user viewing the image with their graphics turned
off or to someone using a screen reader.
Also, the image itself has a descriptive ALT
tag.
