Maybe you could use 'nice titles'

http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/nicetitle/

and instead of searching for links:

for (var ti=0;ti<document.links.length;ti++) {

search for area - is that possible? or give the map an id then find
its childnodes and then attach the onmousover/mouseout events.

I'm sure others can be more helpful..
