Answer 2

Yes, I still use image maps, however my last project used Raphaël. It was pretty easy to get something up and running.

From their web site:

Raphaël ['ræfeɪəl] uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. This means every graphical object you create is also a DOM object, so you can attach JavaScript event handlers or modify them later. Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy.

Nice simple image map example:
