Good answer, except that I'm having the exact same problem in Firefox,
and despite what the error console says, my coordinates are in the
correct format.

I've read the previous messages on the subject, and grew extremely
frustrated that every thread seemed to end with something along the
lines of, "Did anyone ever get this to work?"  Maddening.  So, now
that I've figured out something that works, I will *gasp* share it
here.

Using the onclick methods on the advanced usage page didn't work for
me, and neither did the error console.  What did work, even though it
has made my oldfart code just that much uglier, is this:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function greyBoxOverlay() {
        GB_showCenter("Caption", "site.html", 123, 456);
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<A HREF="#">
        <IMG SRC="../images/test1.jpg" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="500" BORDER="0"
ALT="" USEMAP="#test1_Map" /></A>
<MAP NAME="test1_Map">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" ALT="1" COORDS="100,100,200,200"
HREF="javascript:greyBoxOverlay()" />
</MAP>

</body>
</html>

I did not think this up.  I saw it in the code at the bottom of
someone else's post on a different topic (P+sGuy) and I am not SMRT,
but by gosh and by golly the @(*#^(@&^ thing finally freakin' works.
Hope this helps someone, and they don't waste tons of time trying to
figure this out like I did.
