Woah...this ones a doozy...dynamic placement + transparency?

[WhiteTiger]

Is there any way I could place a 1/2 transparent square over part of an image map?...I am looking perhaps to see (if it's not too much) to be able to put a 1/2 transparent highlight over an image map area when it is hovered over for help with the visually impaired or others in our office who dont like looking at small items on the computer screen...any help with this?...is there any way to dynamically place an image over it perhaps? Regards,
Anthny

Look into CSS (Cascading Stylesheets) you'll find what you
are looking for ;-)

It's a tutorial on CSS. What your talking about is also
covered.

How can I get the coords of the image map to do the calculations?...I need to be able to get 4 corners, and calculate height and width of the image, as well as the top corner. Regards,

open your image in a photo prog
move mouse around and read coordinates down the right corner

Hi,

What I would do is first some serious image mapping, so
that every part has it own rectangle. Now I would use a
JavaScript to open a new browser screen displaying an
enlarged version of the "click"ed//"mouseover"ed image map.

If you really want it to work with OnMouseOver it suggest
you use a one second delay otherwise the screen will soon
be littered with junk your users dont want.

But I say that clicking would be best. Let them decide for
themselfs. Just let your users THINK they are in control ;-)
