Image map alt tags not visible when disabling images

Question

Can anyone offer any pointers for making sure that the alt tags within an image map are visible when disabling images?

I am using the FireFox Developer toolbar to Replace Images with Alt attributes. All images are replaced with the alt text that corresponds to them, but an image map does not.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Answer 1

You should be putting the Alt tags on the AREA tags, not on the image.

<area href="#" shape="rect" coords="0,25,50,100" alt="A rectangle" />

Also try using Title attributes too.
