Hello,
I am trying to make this as simple as I can. At this very initial
design type of stage, just the overall plain blueprint so to speak
would be a good start.
==========================================================================
Suppose you live in Sidney, Australia. You are sitting at your PC and
you
go to your own website: www.myfamily.net (I use myfamily.net as an
example. Ignore the actual existing myfamily.net website).
There on the home page of the website myfamily.net, you see a map of
the world. On this map, there are little dots that represent cities.
You have an oncle who lives in New York city, USA. You see the little
dot for New York city. You click on it, and a window pops up. In that
window, you see a live view of your oncle sitting at his table and
eating a hamburger!
You close the window and click on the London dot. There you see again
a window popping up with your grandma drinking a cup of tea.
Of course, we assume your oncle and your grandma each have a PC and a
webcam and
are online.
========================================================================
My main question is this:
What does the code in the home page, the one that contains the map, of
myfamily.net look like? Is it HTML only with webcam links if such
links exist? Is JavaScript
required?
I have already seen some code in this newsgroup in different postings
that could very well be adapted to what I want, or so I think. I can
manage to put some HTML and Javascript code together if I know for
sure that it can be done. Before I do anything, I think it's better if
an expert in the matter offers some guidance as to what main blocks of
code I must have and in what language.
The number of family members can be large. Also, it should be possible
for anyone to view more than one member, for example, you could be
clicking on both the New York and London dots and view the uncle and
the grandma at the same time, having two webcam windows on the screen.
As the webmaster of the website myfamily.net, family members are added
or removed as they are born or pass away.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks.
