How do I highlight parts of an imagemap on mouseover?
I need to display an imagemap with about 70 areas in it. The area of the imagemap the mouse cursor is currently at is supposed to be highlighted in a certain color. Is this possible and if yes, how? After actually using it in production I'd say this is the answer: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/maphilight Using this it takes a few lines of code to implement that feature for any imagemap. Yes, this is possible. I've done the exact thing with jquery and the image map area mouseenter / mouseleave events, but not with 70 areas. It will just be more work for you.
