[jQuery] Append "Area" to Map

[Jimmy Glass]

I have been trying to append a freaking Area tag to a MAP tag for about 2 hours 
now... 

The data argument is always a string.

function(data)
                                                {   
                                                    
$('#s7Image').attr('usemap','');
                                                   $('#MapContainer').empty();
                                                    thisMap = '<MAP 
ID="thisMap2" NAME="thisMap2"></MAP>';

                                                    
$('#MapContainer').append(thisMap);
                                                    
                                                   $('#thisMap').append(data);
                                                    
                                                    
$('#s7Image').attr('usemap','thisMap2');
                                                }

Is there something obvious that I'm missing here? Any thoughts would be greatly 
appreciated.
