Image Maps losing hotspots in MSIE 7 & 8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Create an Image Map (.png)
2.  Rotate it with the plugin
3.  Try to click the hotspots

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Internet Explorer Only:
Expect to be able to click the hotspts.  We are unable to 
click them after rotation.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I've tried all versions.  V2 makes the image look best
V3 seems to distort after rotation in MSIE ... although the 
image mapping seems to work.

Please provide any additional information below.

We have an application that rotates an image map.

Trouble is, in Explorer 7 and 8 we have multiple failures.

    1. The image doesn't rotate on center, but rather it seems on a point of the container?

    2. Once rotated, it forgets that it's an imagemap and all of the hotspots are rendered uncilckable.

I've tried with all versions of your plugin (and many others) to get this to 
work.   Seems like with
version3, on IE7, it'll stay an image map, but the image itself gets very 
distorted.   In IE8, it never
works.

Any ideas or code modifications that you can provide ASAP would be a huge help. 
 We have a 
one day deadline on this.

You should view that in Chrome or Firefox, then IE.  You'll see instantly how 
that Dial at the bottom left
should work ... and then what it does in IE.

Thanks for your speedy response!

As you already noticed version 3 tries to address this issue. However in 
version 2 it will never possible (as image is replaced with VML object - so 
what to do with maps ?)
