IE is wrongly case sensitive about the usemap attribute of an image map. To change the map for an image in run time, you have to set the attribute "useMap", which is against the XHTML Strict standard. In a proper situation, you should set the "usemap" attribute.

Would adding the IE-only third parameter to the setAttribute command also be a workaround for this?

setAttriute('usemap', value, 0);

I don't know. Did you try it? What happened?
