I want to be able to draw a line on top of an image 1

[DougP]

I created a program that allows someone to find items in a warehouse

Here is a screen capture of a VB program I wrote.

I would like to do the same thing only using Internet Explorer. So I need to be able to draw a line on an image from X1,Y1 to X2,Y2.
And then be able to do this over and over.
I want to use VBScript

Any Ideas??

Do you have a form on a diffrent page that lets the person choose what they are looking for? If so then you could use pre-built graphical lines and place them with vbscript.

<% response.write(&quot;<img src='line.gif' style='position:absolute;left:&quot;&var1&&quot;;top:&quot;&var2&&quot;'>&quot%>

Otherwise you could create all the line pics that you need and use javascript to show or hide them as needed.

I hope this helps some.

I have a slight twist on the idea now
Here is the New Page I'm working on

If you move the mouse on the Map and off again it shows a Star at 511
I would like to be able to put the star on any X-Y coordinate.

If they click the combo box to find a Vendor
then the Result could be the X-Y coordiante and show the star there.
Say the clicked &quot;American CompuSystems&quot; which is booth #511
The return info would be 101-43 which could be the X-Y coords for the star to be shown at.
Does that make sense???

using the Response.write example you had above.
Can you help me with this???

OK here goes, I will warn you that this is off the cuff so it may not work exactly as planned.

<%
dim xy
xy = Request.Form(&quot;xy&quot
if (request.form(&quot;xy&quot<> &quot;&quot then
dim x,y,first
first = instr(1,xy,&quot;-&quot'finding the -
x = mid(xy,1,first-1)'setting first coordinatd
y = mid(xy,first+1) 'setting second %>
end if %>
Then in the body of your code

<% if (request.form(&quot;xy&quot<> &quot;&quot then 'check for value
response.write(&quot;<img src='line.gif' style='position:absolute;left:&quot;&x&&quot;;top:&quot;&y&&quot;'>&quot
end if %>

The limitation here is that you will have to figure out what the top and left values are. Sorry but I do not know how to do this with x and y coordinates. So there could be a problem with diffrent resolutions and screen sizes?

Ok I'll check out the code
What do you recommend instead of X and Y values?? DougP, MCP

I think that the only options that you have with the code I gave you is either a percentage or pixels.

Its still not working

here is what I have so far

http://www.tampabaytrends.org/TradeShow2002.asp

I want to click on the Drop down select a vendor then show a star where their booth is

If you move the mouse over the image it shows a Star. But this is a built in thing in Front Page which just replaces an image with a mouse over.

Can anyone help DougP, MCP

I checked out your code and this is one thing I noticed. Nothing is going to happen when a person clicks on the find booth button because it is not a submit button.

 

[DougP]

Ok thanks,
MY problem right now is getting the Value 100-200 from the Drop down box which are the pixels of the stars location to go in the response.write.....

So the star will show up there.
then pick a second vendor whose value is 300-400 and have the star show up there.

Looks good, are you going to be using a transparent background on your star though? Just curious
