Complicated Image Map + Rollover

[davecheet]

I have a jpg of a map and I'm trying to create a image map on top of that with
lots and lots of hotspots which when clicked pop up text which does not obscure
the map itself.
I know how to draw up the hotspots and I guess I have to use layers to create
the text for each of the hotspots. Then I assume I can use a show/hidelayer
behaviour to bring the relevant layer to the top.

Can anyone advise me if there's a better way to do this or simply confirm that
I'm on the right lines before I begin.

Thanks

Dave

You're on the right track. Get a copy of the AutoLayer extenstion from PVII
to do this - when one layer is shown, it hides all the others, which will
save you from having to do that manually - [url]http://www.projectseven.com/[/url].

Your only remaining problem to solve will then be how to keep the layers
properly aligned with the map, if the map is held in a centering table. But
there are ways to do that too, so post back if you need it and I will tell
you.

Hi, Murray;

I'm working on the same type of thing as Dave, but I've got a centering table. Would you mind please posting how to get the layers to show up relative to the centered image, not the browser sides?

Thanks a lot!
