visualizing usemaps with thin borders

[glg1]

Hi all,
I generate a series of imagemaps dynamically from a database. The usemap and areas work great. As part of the user experience, I would like to have faint boxes drawn around the areas on the images. I've been trying all sorts of css to get this to happen, to no avail.

The question is can one add borders to an <area> tag? or must I resort to something like what Stu Nicolls does

(which is very impressive and I love, but for the dynamic generation is a bit over the top for our needs).

Thanks, George

I think you'll have to resort to his method if you want the borders.

If the number of areas you have is not too great, you could consider having several images, which you swap in depending on which area is hovered over.

Hope this helps,
Dan
