I've taken to using Shadowbox:

Since one of the things you can bring-up in the box is any external web page, it might meet your need for an image map?

Subject: [CODE4LIB] image maps + lightbox/thickbox/ibox/etc

Hi all,

Does anyone have an-AJAX "pop-up window" style tool that works with image maps? I'm thinking of something in the the lightbox, thickbox, ibox family. I've found a bunch of references to people online *looking* for this functionality, but no one finding it. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Ken
