IE5.5 Bug (Probably an easy question)

[benski]

You know the old (easy) trick of changing the window.status when you rollover an anchor?

For example:

<a href="#blah" onmouseover="window.status='blah blah'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">blah</a>

This works fine in ie5.5, but:

<img src='blah.jpg' usemap='#blahmap'>

<map name='blahmap'>
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,74,168" href="#blah" onmouseover="window.status='blah blah'; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true">
</map>

Doesn't work?

Any ideas????
