Anybody who has been designing webpages for a while should remember the old image map. It’s a very old concept that has essentially died out. You see it every once in a while on a circa 1995 webpage.

Well, it’s back. A List Apart has a story in their latest issue that revives the image map concept using CSS, and explains where you would need such a construct. Read the story, and see the end result. View the HTML source, it’s as clean as a whistle! (Whatever that means.)
