It works for me, but then, I'm testing here with FF 1.0.7. What isn't it
doing properly?
Of course, "works" is a relative term, since I can only barely make out
the word [Home] or the other "nav links" in the graphic. Also, [Forum]
and [Links] have no links in the source, so no linkee on the page.

"Successfully" may also be subjective. OP: Your query begs the question
of why you're using an image map for nav (or at all) in the first place.
What if that one image doesn't load? (Hint: no navigation) What if the
user can't read the text in your graphic? They can't resize it. You've
provided no alt texts.
The text is way too small in general anyway; 9px (xx-small), even in
Verdana, is too teensy for humans.
If a BG color is specified, a FG color should be, too. I get my current
default dark gray text on the site's lighter gray BG.

Heh.
In addition to the above remarks, the XHTML isn't valid, the site
requires a 700px viewport, and there's way too much reliance on JS.

Well (finally something actually intended for dorayme), there's a <map
name="menu" id="menu"> down around 80% into the markup.
