    Question for image manipulation

    Ok, usually I would use the search function to find an existing solution but the problem is that I have no idea what keywords to use. I am hoping someone can point me to the right direction. Here is my problem:

    I have an image. I want to have a rollover tool tip for multiple things in that image. For instance, if you move your mouse over a book in the image a yellow tool tip would come up and give you the title of the book. I remember this being fairly straightforward with MS Frontpage but I do not have access to it currently. I was wondering if this is something that can be programmed using HTML or CSS. More in general, what is this functionality called so that I can Google it for more information.

    Regards.

    Those are 'image maps'. Flickr users use them quite a bit. I can't recall if they do anything differently, though.
