I have this hand drawn map

[dlm95678]

that I've turned into a jpeg. It has rivers, roads, towns and other stuff on
it. I want to be able to run the mouse over this map and have these different
features identify themselves. Say when the mouse passes over River A, a small
text label will appear saying River A. And I want to be able to click on a
river, a road or whatever and have a new browser window open up.

Using behaviors on an object I can sort of do this, but not with a meandering
line. Is there some way of identifying an area on a jpeg, or gif, that can be
used with behaviors?

Thanks
David

Use an image map.

You might want to break up the 1 large image into lots of little images.

Ok. I'm able to identify an area, in this case a river, using an image map. And
if I click on it I can go to the url I want.

But, when the mouse passes over the river I want to bring up a small text
label with the name of the river on it. The only way I've been able to do this
is with a browser window or a popup menu. Neither of them really fit the bill.
The browser window doesn't go away unless you manually close it. The popup menu
comes closest to what I want, but it's placed on the browser window at a
specific xy coordinate. I want it near the mouse point, like it was the mouse
pointer's label. Can Dreamweaver do this or do I have to right some code.

Also, how do I go about putting a second hotspot on an image? If I try to put
in a second one it just Dreamweaver treats it like an edit.

Thanks

Give the area you've just defined a title. The title will be displayed as a
tooltip when hovered over.

To be perfectly honest this sort of app is better suited for using Flash
than image maps.
