adding things to images?

[NewfieSarah]

Hey all, I was wondering if there was a way that I can add things to my image. I have n image of a map of my local area and I would like to have my user be able to click on different areas on the may to display information on specific local things in the area. How is this possible? Thanks

What you want can be acomplished creating an Imagemap.

http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/imagemap.shtml

Basically imagemaps define clickable areas in an image that can be used to send the suer to different pages, or to show different content.

The link provides a tutorial on how to create one, it uses a menu but you can use your amp image just the same. Just a question of defining the areas that can be clicked and what is shown when they are clicked.

If you have trouble post back.

Sorry, forgot to add, don't be fooled by the URL, saying avascipt, it doesnt use any javascript, its plain html. But the tutorial is hosted in their site.
