Annoyingly the map does not scale if you use something like width=100%
in the img
to scale the image (at least in Firefox 3.0.1.4 on FC10).
I'm sure something nasty could be done with JavaScript DOM manipulation to bodge it,
but maybe there's a nicer way???
Note that IE(8) automagically uses the alt attribute of the area entities to do a tooltip on each area - if you want this sort of thing on other browsers, it looks like a DIY job. (Or maybe you can abuse the title attribute?)
