Thanks for the link, I finally checked it out and it looks really promising
to a culinary compulsive like myself.
I saw an image map for regional disucssion groups, but I had something
different in mind. I found a National parks site with a 50-state map, and
their HTML has comments in it with instructions on how to copy it. Their
page uses java, but I want something simpler. I just want an image map that
can call a page for each state. It could be a front-end for a database at
ulupica or firegirl. Each called page could have an alphabetical listing of
towns and their hot spots, and maybe a Regional listing for places near
town. The hard part would be to enter all that data at first, then keep it
current.
project - as you say, with a focus on the hot and spicy. Chowhound is more
general-interest, and we could certainly refer people to it.
Let me tinker in Notepad a little bit and build a basic State page template.
I have to remember some of the html I learned back in my CompuServe
days...
