Hi,
not too sure if i posted at the correct place. but anyway.. here's my problem.
i'm using vb web developer 2008. i'm trying to pull out data and display using the imagemap/hotspots. for example, when i search for this item 1, it will pull out the data from the database and then shows me where the item is placed on the map.
any help is appreciated. thanks!
Hello,
Sounds to me like you have posted in the right place :thumb:
Typically, an ImageMap:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr....imagemap.aspx
I used to provide a clickable region that when clicked, taking an appropriate action based on which Image was clicked. It sounds to me like you actually want to do the inverse.
When you do an appropriate action (searching) you want an image to be displayed highlighting the correct region.
Does that sounds about right?

basically i am using a image of a floor plan. the floor plan consists of 3 shelves. so when i search for the item 1, hopefully it shows me on which shelves on the floor plan. am i suppose to use hotspots?
thanks alot.
Hello,
Personally, I don't see how this would help.
What I would suggest is, you search the Database for Item 1, you find it, and it has information about which shelve it is on, and based on this, you can show an image which indicates that this is the case. No requirement for HotSpots, unless of course you want to do the inverse look up.

Are you talking about like GoogleMaps? Like when you type in an address, it will indicate/mark in the map (using a symbol) where the address is? You want something similar like that?
hi gary,
thks for ur suggestion. but is it possible if i want to display on the floorplan itself? because i will have quite a number of shelves and pallet next time, and i dont think it's a good idea to save the image of every pallets or shelves. hopefully u got what i mean.. ): thks for ur help.
hi benmartin,
nope, not google map but i will have a image of the floorplan which has shelves and pallets. what i'm trying to do is when i search for this item 1, i can pull out the info of where this item 1 is, say at pallet 1. then on my floorplan pallet 1 will change color indicating that the item 1 is there. i hope u got what i mean too. thks for ur reply too.
thanks alot.
