Hi,

Could someone maybe give me a few pointers on how to get the following
effect.

I want to display a map where the user can hold the mouse over a dot
representing a town and have a delivery charge for that town be displayed
either beside the map or better still beside the mouse pointer.

I`m using FP2002.

TIA

Des.

Thanks, that is just what I was looking for.

Des.

you can do it with combination of an image map/mouse rollovers or the "tool-tips"
flags (you insert these in the hyperlinks dialogs box) that come up giving info
about each link (if you put them in).

You have to create "hotspots" (hyperlinked sections) on your image where you want
the mouse-overs to occur.

With the image map/rollovers, you effectively have two versions of the map, one
is the 'normal' state, the other is the "rolled-over" state (showing the price (I
assume you mean postal-delivery? or courier etc).

the "tool tips" are a small "flag" that pops up with information about a link
(used usually to give more info about what a hyperlink is for, and in this case
will serve the same purpose, giving information about the 'hotspot' or link.
