Wow, I remember when server side image maps were the only kind of image map!

  Really? <map> was also supported since Chrome and Firefox 1. Is ismap older yet? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/map https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...

    If I recall, yes. I don't think clientside maps hit till HTML 3.2

Paul Graham's website uses image maps for the nav bar, it's the only place I can recall seeing them off the top of my head.

    And completely unnecessary. Should be a list of text links.

  IIRC the Apple website used to use (client side image maps) them. But I suspect that was Mai my so they could do some research where users actually click on their screen.
