What is the problem with using an image map and javascript for this sort of 
thing?

By using lists and hover states you've limited yourself to rectangular 
hotspots, and haven't really gained anything as far as I can see. You've also 
lost any ability to have links in the little pop-ups, because they disappear as 
soon as you try to mouse over to them.

If you are concerned about users without javascript, one way to accommodate 
them is to simply have all the popups visible (and linked to from the map 
areas) by default, and to use js to hide them. Users with js get the full 
effect; users without get an imagemap with links to the popup content.

cheers
Geoff
