 * It also doesn’t work in tabs.. Unfortunately because it’s a nice plugin !

 * You can have only one imagemap on a page at a time. Placing image maps in widgets
   may be a bad idea, since you easily end up with more than one being displayed,
   if image maps are also used in the content.

 * But the basic problem my just be that widgets in general don’t process short 
   codes.
