it would be very simple.
1. put the data in the sql database
2. output the page to the browser, building the javascript
arrays....like they do here....
var tip=new Array
tip[0]='This is the state where I was born<br>Minnesota'
tip[1]='This is the state of Pennsylvania'
tip[2]='Sample tooltip without a link, <BR>this can just
highlite something<BR> or serve to explain the meaning<BR> of industry
buzzwords'
3. order your output query by name or something that is "constant"
4. and build your image map info before hand...
its done.

Subject: Does anyone know anything about imagemaps and ColdFusion?
I saw a map of America at Brandeis about two years ago where a student
could mouseover the map, and information for each area of the country
came from a database all written in ColdFusion.
I figured out how to do it in javascript and dhtml, but how do you get
the tooltips to come from the table or whatever, use a cfoutput
tag...but how do you get the message in a javascript tooltip...You don't
have to go into the sql or anything -- just how do you get the mouseover
tooltips to work...
See http://www.juliagreen.com/map.htm
Put your cursor over Minnesota and Pennsylvania -- if I was trying to
get a percentage or something from a table how would I do it? You are
free to look at the sourcecode. I have done searches for Coldfusion
tootips, coldfusion imagemaps all to no avail...
