Using image maps in XHTML/CSS?

I've got an image that I need to split parts into links... what would be the best way to do this? I was thinking of just using a CSS image map (I've seen it done before) but I don't know how to do that...

Any ideas? Links? Tips?
 
Quite confusing actually. Most of those examples are just that... examples. I was hoping more for tutorials or something... BUT they were very helpful.

I found that using GoLive to create tables for me worked just as effectivly and created valid XHTML code.

Thanks, as always, for your help though!
 
Hi Trip,

Ah, I see what you mean regarding examples, as opposed to tutorials. I used examples from cssplay.co.uk to work out how to do the coding for various things. Also, sometimes the author gives a link to tutorials he has written elsewhere and, in one of the pages, he did give a link to a tutorial on imagemaps:

http://cssplay.co.uk/articles/imagemap/index.html

It sounds like you found a solution of sorts already, though!

One note, though, is that the use of tables is sometimes frowned upon as a bit of a hack and I've heard that search engines do not always search the content of tables, and so some say it is best to use CSS. I'm no expert when it comes to web design, so I'm only passing on the comments that I've heard, and I can't really say much about it myself!
