Just my $0.02, but this would be an ideal candidate for a Flash/CF component. Just make a Flash map of the US, create a tooltip object and then pass the values into the Flash movie based on the State abbreviations.
Alternatively, couldn't you just use the TITLE="" attribute of the image map to show tooltips? Create a client-side image map using Dreamweaver or whatever and then take each state's coordinates and populate them into a SQL table with the State Abbreviation and then you can dynamically output the image map code and include any other needed data using SQL joins, calculations, etc. Good luck!

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... *************************************** Julia Computer Consulting Web Design @ Reasonable Prices Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.juliagreen.com Phone: 617-926-3413 Cell: 617-596-6003 Fax: 1-309-437-7979 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
