This doesn't sound like the right approach. To make this work the  
approach would not to be write new code to navigate, but rather to  
change the existing code so that it will do this when necessary.

Assuming the page has only one <img>, one <map>, and one <area> seems  
completely wrong, and I'm not sure it's helpful to designing a solution.

The premises behind your questions <1> and <2> are wrong so I really  
don't see how I can answer the questions.

Sorry, I'd love to help, but I'm stuck here.
