image map question

Help, I'm trying to alter the status line when the mouse goes over a portion 
of my image map.  I can get onMouseOver to work with <A>, <FONT> 
and numerous other tags, but it won't work on <AREA> tag(s).  My HTML 
4.0 Book says it's possible but I can't get it to work.  I've tried it with 
both onMouseOver and onFocus, no dice.

By the way, I'm using IE version 5.00.2314.1003CO.

Here's a copy of the relevant coding:
	<MAP NAME="map1">
			<AREA onFocus="status='Go to the Windows 95 Manual'; return false;" 
onBlur="status=''" COORDS="85,275,249,207" HREF="Win9x.html">
			<AREA COORDS="83,297,255,352" HREF="WinNT.html" onFocus="status='Go to 
the Windows NT Manual'; return true;" onBlur="status=''">
			<AREA COORDS="269,210,300,373" HREF="Office97.html" onFocus="status='Go 
to the Office 97 Manual'; return true;" onBlur="status=''">
			<AREA COORDS="521,328,640,413" HREF="Vista.html" onFocus="status='Go to 
the VistA Manual'; return true;" onBlur="status=''">
			<AREA COORDS="303,272,334,367" HREF="NTPrnFS.html" onFocus="status='Go to 
the NT Printer and File Services Manual'; return true;" onBlur="status=''">
			<AREA COORDS="215,383,350,480" HREF="CompLit.html" onFocus="status='Go to 
the Personal Computer Basic Skills Manual'; return true;" 
onBlur="status=''">
		</MAP>
		<IMG USEMAP="#map1" SRC="Mvc-026s.jpg">

Any help would be appreciated.
