In fact, making the #map "position:relative" kind of destroyed the layout on IE, because the map was nowhere to be seen :D Since I'd have to think clearly for that (I'm still very much in my "working on thesis" mood), I reckon I'll only be touching this again if the Council web team tells me they're interested in the idea.

Have you tried using display:none and display:inline to hide and show the text? At least the IE8 update will target IE6 users.

I did get a second response from them: "Thank you for yopu suggestions. We will discuss them with my team". We'll see what comes of it. Still, I'm sure there's room for much improvement (such as support for IE6… right now, it's not centred, and on my WINE version of IE6, I couldn't get the hover effects to work). Any ideas?

Even if you live in Malta it's a lot quicker to find. Yours is a lot more intuitive. Even if you live in Malta it’s a lot quicker to find.
