Us Map Hyperlinks

[Vedat Gurtan]

Hi,

 

I intend to place a US map on my web site, and when vistitors click on a certain state on the map they will see the information in a new popup window for that particular state.

 

I found a transparent US map at Google which dosn't conflict with my background image. But placing hyperlinks from each state using FrontPage is a pain. It is possible by utilizing "absolute positioning" and placing a button for example on each state, and create a hyperlink on the buttons.

 

But it really is painstaking process, buttons may not go where you want them to go all the time. Is there any other program or utility that will recognize each state as a separate image, or is such a map readily available anywhere?

 

Thanks in advance..

Ever tried CuteMAP by Globalscape? It's a great little tool!

Hi,

 

You can do it using Fireworks MX or Flash MX too

Jim,

 

I've done mapping with Fireworks too, but CuteMAP makes it even more convenient to edit the code created. It's super handy. You should give it a test. ;-)

You can also use PSP or PS

PaintShop Pro looks easier.

Hi,

 

Thank you everybody. I have used cutemap, and really worked great, I have a clickable map on my site now. So far I have never touched anything else other than FrontPage html. May be I should start playing with Flas/MX and some other tools available. May be I am falling behind our times.

 

Hoops, I will correct myself, I have also used xara webstyle to do menus, headers etc. That is also a great tool, www.xara.com, you create everything graphically, it converts it to java script automatically.

 

Best Regards,
