IE 6.0 & Image maps

Question

I have a simple page with only AP elements that works fine
with IE 7.0 and Firefox.
My menu is comprised of AP elements with an image and an
image map on it. Simple Show/Hide Elements and Swap Image
behaviours do the trick.
However, IE 6.0 users report this: They see the visible APs
when the page load but not the image map (their cursor doesn't even
switch to a hand when they hover) so nothing works.
At Browser Compatibility I found the Z-index bug and fixed it
by applying Z-index to all elements. IE 6.0 still ignores the image
maps though.. Why?
Thank you in advance.

PS: All I am getting as errors is these two lines in the
default.css "div {unicode-bidi:bidi-override;}
span {unicode-bidi:bidi-override;}" which result in an
Unsupported property: unicode-bibi
Is this related and frankly, what is it?

1. Your home page contains no readable text. This is usually
regarded as
an SEO blunder. Devoting the time and effort to create such a
page is
really a waste, as it presents one more hurdle between your
visitor and the
information they seek - they will bookmark the inner pages,
and never see
this page again. And it's a waste of your most valuable SEO
tool - the home
page. With no readable text, it cannot be adequately spidered
by the SE
bots.
2. You have used the unicode-bidi style in your stylesheet.
Are you sure
you need that? Read this to see what it does -

3. Your entry page, being all graphics, doesn't suffer from
text resizing.
This is good an bad. It's good in the sense that since you
have used only
absolute positioning, you will not experience the usual
problem with text
content resizing. It's bad in the sense that I explained
above, and also in
an accessability sense - those who need to resize the text to
read the page
will not be able to do so. In other words, you have lost
accessability on
this page.
In general, using absolute positioning as a primary layout
method is a big
mistake. Read this -
