A More Accessible Map
I'm very excited to have my "A More Accessible Map" article in A List Apart. The article describes how to create a map using CSS and DOM Scripting that is interactive and also accessible. You can read the full article here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssmaps
I have made some code and worldmap image files available for the CSS map example. A ColdFusion CSS Map example is also available.
I want to thank the people at A List Apart, and I have to give a huge amount of thanks to Aaron Gustafson. Aaron was the production editor for the article; he made a bunch of great suggestions on improving the scripting and really made this a much better example and article.
Several scripting links I found very helpful:

I have also updated my CFCPhotoBlog to include the CSS mapping technique. The CSS map technique can be seen in action on the Photos By Location page.

Good job. It's clean and to the point. Aaron is great to work with and offers an intellectual approach to the scripting language that many of us tend to overlook from time to time.
I'll have to take a look at the ColdFusion code next. At first glance the CF code looks pretty well done.
