Re: client-side image maps

Thanks, Mark! Yes, that helps a lot. However, after writing you, I
thought about the matter further and realized that what I really want is
to create a dynamic semantic net web page(s) that accesses a Tinderbox
file, instead of a MySQL file, to dynamically generate a node-link
semantic net, one that changes its appearance as the user access it. The
user should be able to rotate it, zoom in on it, and ideally have a
focus+context view over it.

I know that I could create a Java applet to do the 3D rotation, but I want
a dynamically generated webpage based on user access of the database. I
hate relational databases, and would like to be able to use Tinderbox
instead of the PHP-MySQL combination that has been suggested to me.

Is this completely out of the question?
