Rollovers with Two or More Events

[Gottlob]

I have an assignment to put together a page on which a list of power plants
will appear in a column on the left side while a map of North America takes up
the right side of the page. On the map is a series of dots indicating the
locations of the power plants. When a mouse is rolled over a power plant from
the list, a bright-colored dot must appear at the plant's location on the map,
and at the same time a box containing information about the plant must appear
at the top of the map. How would I go about doing this?

[Murray *TMM*]

Use one of two methods -

1. image swaps (but this means a) you must have your map sliced into a
jigsaw so that you can isolate each dot independently, and b) you must have
your "text" that appears in an image)
2. Show-hide layers (this may be the better method). Have a layer over
each dot containing the "lit" dot image. Hide them all. Make the links
show the associated dot's layer and hide all the rest onMouseOver by
applying a show-hide layer behavior to it. Finish up by having it also
reveal a layer containing the associated text and hiding the other text
layers as well.

Take your pick.
