Hover problem in IE

I'm having a problem at www.idea-greenhouse.com/s.html

In Firefox, all's well.
In IE6, the images don't always change when I hover over a link. It
seems I have to hover over the border of the link (as when I move over
the link very slowly) for the image to change. Indeed, to get this far
I've had to make borders that exactly match the background so they're
not apparent. Remove the borders altogether and the hovers don't work
at all.

I'd like to see the behavior I get with Firefox.

This is based on Stuart Robinson's article at
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/imagemap/, but I've mucked it up
quite a bit.

Any help is much appreciated.

Muck it down till it works again, and then muck it up step by step,
until you find the culprit.

You're welcome :-)

Thanks for the advice. I'm sure I can replicate the original work.
But I really want insights into the problem with the hover / border
issue.

You'll get that insight when you find the culprit.
There is no hover / border issue, unless you've made one. By checking
your code step by step, you'll find out what it is you added to cause
the problem. Of course I could do it for you, but I have other things
to do.

Also: please quote the part of a message you are replying to - even I
had to check my own message to see what you were on about.
