Image Maps
Guideline
Server-side image maps may not be used. Client-side image-maps must be used instead.
Intent
The intent of this regulation is to ensure that server-side image maps are not used, since they cannot be made keyboard accessible and are incompatible with assistive technologies. Any server-side image maps must therefore be replaced by client-side ones.
