Is there anyway to make an image map W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant?

I’m working on this page and when I click my W3C Validator badge I receive a validation error. 

There is no attribute 'type', <area type='rect' coords='21,19,155,76' ...

Are there any tags for the XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant that have replaced the image map <map> and <area> tags?

I did go to the w3c and look at their specification, and the only thing I could find was <nl> tag with nested <li>, but I tried them and they did not work in any of the browsers that I tried.

  1. Success!

    I found the answer thanks to someone at Ozone Asylum who directed me to a, A List Apart article on css sprites. You can do the same thing it’s just not as strait forward. (But it can be XHTML Compliant!)

    I actually did one here, just click on the big red arrow to see the example…

    To be fair though I’ll admit, it looks a little cheesy…client’s choice of photo, not mine!
