ASP: Enhancing user experience by improving hotspot visibility in imagemap creation

I am currently working on an application that would greatly benefit from the ability to identify items within an image map. Creating image maps on an asp.net site is quite simple with the following code snippet:

<asp:imagemap id="ImageMap1" runat="server" imageurl="image.gif">
<asp:circleHotSpot PostbackValue="Area1" radius="10" X="30" Y="30" ALternateText="Area1" HotSpotMode="PostBack">
</asp:imagemap>

While it may be possible to change the image itself to indicate the hot spots, a more efficient method in this case would be to display the hot spot with a mouseover effect or border.

If you take a look at how Facebook identifies people in images, that's the kind of functionality I'm aiming for. Any suggestions?

Answer №1

When it comes to ImageMaps, their functionality can be quite restrictive. I'm not entirely sure how Facebook handles it, but in my experience, I prefer using a DIV with a background image and strategically placed images that are appropriately sized and absolutely positioned on top of the DIV for imagemap-like effects. This way, you can leverage various CSS techniques like adding borders, incorporating relatively positioned popups, and more.
