How Do I make Image Maps Accessible?

Always use client side image maps and add ALT to AREA tags

Examples:

Problem image map: Links to Texas Education Service Centers

Better Implementation: TSBVI Links to Texas Education Service Centers

Syntax for AREA with "alt"

<area coords="0,0,52,52" href="url" alt="purpose of link, where will it take you">

Try it:

Repair this image map. Add "alt" to each AREA tag.
