Adding Things to images?

Hey all, I was wondering if there was a way that I can add things to my image. I have an image of a map of my local area and I would like to have my user be able to click on different areas on the may to display information on specific local things in the area. How is this possible? Thanks

 

With an image map.

on your image you have

<img src="images/image.jpg" alt="image" width="200" height="131" border="0" usemap="#imagemap">

Code (markup):

then

<map name="imagemap"><area shape="rect" coords="29,33,55,72" href="someinfo.htm">

Code (markup):

keep adding as many maps as you like, creating hotspots on the image.

 

You can also use a graphics program to add the text right over the image. I picked up a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 on Ebay for $20 that does the job nicely. It's an older version true, but it does everything I want for web work.

 

You create the image map using software like http://www.boutell.com/mapedit/

If you want a really good map check out http://www.google.com/apis/maps/

 

you can do it with the image map but I suggets using flash for that

 

dreamweaver allows you to do image maps also.
