[jQuery] (smooth) scroll to anchor but...


...what if the areas i need to scroll to are defined as anchors in
html <map> elements on top of a large inline image? and the areas that
trigger the links are image map areas too. clicking on the image map
areas scroll from one area to another. ideally not using absolute
positioning, but with html anchors and their IDs.
i tried modifying this technique here for no avail:

and this one here:

any help appreciated - thanks!
