I'm just gonna throw this out there.....

Does XSI's synoptic feature seriously *only* support html imagemaps?
Does it support anything else and they aren't telling? Anybody know?

I mean.. sure.. You can run XSI scripts from the netview, but if only
they could put a full-fledged browser into the darn synoptic view
thingy. (Listening, Softimage? XSI7 ought to have a full browser in
the Synoptic!)

Imagemaps are just so arcaic! I feel like it's 1999, when websites
were made of imagemaps, html tables, no CSS and blink tags! :(
