I've heard of that hidefocus property before, can you tell me the syntax 
for it?
Cisco I've never used a browser that outlines areas within an image map 
but i think you can use the css outline rule, i've never tried changing 
the colour but I've used it to stop the outline appearing before...

Its CSS2.1 but I'm pretty sure IE6 supports it.

area:focus { 
    outline-color : red ; 
    outline-style : dotted ;
    outline-width : thin ;
}

here's the relevant bit of the spec:
