Re: <MAP> tag

Nope - entirely client side.  All it is doing is to group a series of
hyperlinks into a single object, using MAP.  MAP is mostly used in terms
of defining hyperlinked "hotspots" on an actual image.  What Alan is
using is a series of standard A elements within the MAP rather than a
series of AREA elements - quite valid, but little used (though as I
mentioned earlier, I think the A elements also need to be contained
within a block level element like P, within the MAP).
