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... - A _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
