[kamarajbca@gmail.com]

dear sir,

Now I am doing the task that the index page contains the US
states Map.When i am pressing on the particular state that state map
will be open.I create the link to states using with Microsoft
Frontpage.Now my problem is when i am clicking the county on the state
map that particular county will be opened.There are 50 states in us
how should i create the link to county on the state map.

Please give me the coding for this in php.



Thank You.

Some US states have over a hundred counties! (Texas has 254), It may
be better to have the user select from a list of counties for a state
than to build 50 detailed image maps,

wow. isn't forcing the user to enable scripting in their browser your
argument in *every* 'discussion' you have with OMH? are you now saying it's
ok? take your own advice, it needs a purely non-scripted counterpart or it's
shit.

all the guy needs is a us map that he can use the height and width thereof
to 'tell' what state, even county, the user clicked (as submitted x/y).
server-side, he gets x/y, and uses a coordinate boundry array to define the
states...when x/y in a boundry, we have a known location.

to answer his specific question, all he needs to do is submit the map image
to the server when clicked...no specific client-side links need to exist at
all. and thus, the alternative to client-side scripting. :)

Client side image map?

you are essentially providing a form with an image that, when submitted to
php, the x and y coords. are available to you, the developer. use that info
to generate the appropriate web page back to the user from there...no
client-side scripting involved.

An image map is not scripted.
Its just... an image with links for certain areas.

understood, but you'll find you're having to generate loads of links where
90% where never be used. that effects load times.

LOL!
Then which of the 50 states of the US should be left out?

from what i skimmed of the op, he's talking about zooming in from the globe,
to a country, to a state, to a county, to a city. the number of links grows
in large multiples the more you zoom in. :)

can you tell me how many counties there are in the us? how many cities? lots
o' links?
