title: Map not working in IE8
body: <p>I inherited (not in the OO sense) a map of the world that uses the map and area tags to perform actions when regions of the map are moused over or clicked. It works fine in all the other browsers we've tested on (Chrome, Firefox, IE7); however, IE8 (the primary browser we are supporting) does not function properly.</p>
  
  <p>Some areas work exactly as they are supposed, but others do not respond at all.</p>
  
  <p>To clarify, the map is mostly html (map and area tags) and images, with a little bit of JavaScript.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a bit of sample markup:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;area shape="poly" id="A64" class="{linked:3,fillColor:'fff553'}" title="East Asia and the Pacific" href="#" onclick="return InitiateAsyncRequest('EastAsiaPacific');" coords="500,168,501,168,502,168,502,169,503,169,503,170,504,170,504,171,504,172,504,173,503,173,503,174,502,174,502,175,501,175,500,175,499,175,499,174,500,174,500,173,501,173,502,173,502,172,503,172,503,171,502,171,502,170,501,170,501,169,500,169" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am looking forward to replacing the map; however, for this release this is not an option. Thank you in advance for your help.</p>
