Detecting image support

Is there a way to detect if a browser is in text only mode? I have a navigation bar that is an image map but if the browser doesn't show images, there is no way to navigate. If I can detect if the browser is text only, maybe I can have an alternative text navigation. I don't want to have both the image map and the text nav at the same time.
 
No, there's no reliable method to detect browsers -- the only way would be javascript, but browsers would probably sooner support images than javascript.

I suggest you make sure you have alt attributes both on the images and on every area. That should allow users without images to be able to navigate your site.
