Hi,
Is it possible to have more than one behavior associated with a
layer? For example, I would like to have a mouseover swap out a layer
and a mouseout swap that layer back in. However, if the user clicks on
a hotspot on the second layer, I want a third layer to be swapped in.
Is this possible?
Many thanks,
Tom

Yes it is, but how exactly is that an accessibility topic? (Other
than that it is bad practise as it is dependent on a mouse)

Yes. It is possible. That said, you seem to have a history of asking general
web site development questions in this forum. This forum is specifically
about web accessibility. If you want to talk about general HTML/Javascript
development, I'd suggest you consider one of the fine lists out there
already set up for that purpose.
