First off thank you for your site. There is a lot of great information for
someone like me. I looked through your previous emails and I did not see
this, however if you have already answered this question I apologize. I am
self taught and not real programmer savvy so please excuse any stupid
questions. I looked at your tutorial for the roll-over script. Its what
I'm basically looking to do only different. I was wondering would the same
method be used to do this I couldn't figure out how to make it work. I
would like to be able to place a jpg or gif of a map with dots indicating
different locations. I would then like to be able for the person to hover
over dot get a pop-up box with some text then if they click on it. It
would take them do a different location on the same page or to another
page. I hope this makes since. Like I said I'm just learning bits and
pieces of different programming a little html, perl, sql etc but still
don't have a great grasp on total picture. Any help or direction you could
offer would greatly be appreciated.
Regards,
Dan Oyler

This is called a client side image map.

If you set the title attribute on the areas, the contents of that title will
appear in most browsers as a tooltip when the user hovers the area (as shown
in the example at the bottom of the page).
