ANN: USA HTML image map

[Gregory Vaughan]

USAMAP is an HTML client-side image map of the continental United States. It
contains active links for all 48 lower states (plus DC), and a map graphic
in compact and efficient PNG format. Suitable for use in all kinds of
webpages where a clickable US map is needed.

"as the cursor is positioned over each active state, the name of the
state appears as a tooltip"

no it doesn't.

alt = text [CS]
For user agents that cannot display images, forms, or applets, this
attribute specifies alternate text. The language of the alternate text
is specified by the lang attribute.

title = text [CS]
This attribute offers advisory information about the element for which
it is set.
[...]
Values of the title attribute may be rendered by user agents in a
variety of ways. For instance, visual browsers frequently display the
title as a "tool tip" (a short message that appears when the pointing
device pauses over an object). [...]

$20 - even at the excellent £/$ rate, that still's a rip-off. Besides,
how can you possibly know how many sites the code is used on? How will
you know that it's your image map - a slight tweak to the size of the
image width, shift all the x coords to the left, and hey presto! A new
image map. Easy.

We've now updated the map to use "title=" instead of "alt=". Apologies for
the oversight.

You should be using *both*.

 

[Gregory Vaughan]

Yes, it currently does use both. thanks

This area is public domain and fair use.
A clickable USA map is nothing new by any means.
Any one who wants to take the time can do the same thing for free.
Copyrighting of such material is ludicrous.



BTW brucie, the page did clearly state only a few states were active for the
demo.

You keep talking about copyright in the weirdest terms. Do you know
anything about copyright law?

For starters, 'fair use' and 'public domain' are on completely opposite
ends of the permission spectrum.
