You are supposed to post the code somewhere on the WWW. There are
several reasons:
1. The code that you posted has images, and we do not have the images.
2. You copy and pasted the code from editor to your news client, it is
possible there was an error.
3. When you put the code up on the WWW, we can see exactly what it is
doing, or not doing.

Here are the URLs that show only one (MAP or onMouseOver) works, and
not both.
If anyone can tell me how to get both to work, i would appreciate it.

http://oil4lessllc.com/sw4.htm

Please no bitching that this is a retail site; it was the only way i
could get the (posted) code to a URL site.

Well, after your pointless babbling and even insults, I'm not interested
any more. Hope this helps. Have a nice day. Better luck^H^H^H^Hbehavior
next time.

Mr. Korpela: my sorry duty is to inform you that you are currently
acting like a complete asshole - without any asterix.

To OP: in the posted links one doesn't have usemap, another one doesn't
have rollover block: thusly the difference in the behavior is
completely sustained by the code.

The original code posted here does work - I checked it with random
images on my side. As a side note: I would suggest to specify widht and
height for your div's. Your presumption that they always will have the
minimum needed size to accomodate the content is reasonnable but not
always true.

Your code must be not working for some subtle typo you've made while
copying and pasting and not represented here.

Here the minimum proof of concept (hover the yellow div, then try
California):

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<img src="Usa52.gif" width="760" height="431" border="0"
usemap="#map1">
<map name="map1">
<area shape="rect" coords="139,171,216,303"
href="http://www.google.com">
</map>
<div onmouseover="this.innerHTML='foo';"
onmouseout="this.innerHTML='bar';" id="Layer1"
style="position:absolute; width:170px; height:78px;
background-color:#FFFF00; z-index:1; left: 111px; top: 118px"></div>
</body>
</html>
