I second that referenced article. It is a very good one.

I am currently developing a small web site using MySQL - PHP, but I am not sure the technology really matters in my problem.
I have a page where users can search for items based on some parameters they can select. I have made this using a simple HTML form and this works like a charm, but for one parameter: the user must select an area on a map. What I have done is that I display a map on which different areas are numbered from 1 to 7 and the user chooses an area using radio buttons near the map (I know, a dropdown would be better, but I chose to consistent with the rest of the form). What I would like is that he could be able to select an area directly on the map. I have no idea which technology to use to achieve something like that (basically "selecting" an area on a map and keep that selection marked). HTML area tags do not fit, since I don't want to jump to the target on mouse click, but only to mark the area as selected and use that value later.

well, you can still use an HYTML area map, but you don't have to jump anywhere on a mouse-click / selection, but call a Javascript function instead that either sets a hidden variable and/or sets the appropriate radio button....

OK, and how do I make the choice of the user visible for him (change the selected area on the map), without the page reloading (so as not to lose his other form data) ?
I guess I could change the picture, switching between 7 images where a different area is selected on each picture according to the area having been clicked into. But does not this need reloading ?

well, it's slighty tricky... with only 7 areas you could have 8 different images (one with each area highlighted and one with none) and use JavaScript to swap to the appropriate one each time... if your images aren't too big that could work ok... or, if you have atool like Fireworks [^] then you could create a really fancy map that does what you want - but trying to code that "by hand" would be a bit much...
If it's not 100% necessary to show the selection on the map, you could just highlight and select the apprpriate radio button - so when they click on Area 2, for example, then radio button 2 gets selected and has it's background colour set to red, say.. all possible wiht JavaScript...

Thank you very much for your advice Phil, I'll have a go at the javascript version. I suppose that I will need an alternative for people having javascript disabled...

Hi all
Has anyone got any experience in the above (http://www.tibco.com/devnet/gi/[^].
We're just about to embark on evaluating it and wondered if anyone had any pointers or gotchas?
Thanks

I used to use Cute FTP several years ago when it was free.
I've gotten back into creating my own websites and when I went to download Cute FTP I found out that it does not appear to be free anymore.
What is your current free FTP tool of choice?

It depends what you need to do, for simple FTP this is fine, but if you need to use the command line, the MS FTP client doesn't support SFTP or passive connections which caused us problems when connecting to external clients.
Horses for courses.....

Hi,
I am trying to run a personal website in localhost, but it asks for a localhost username and password when I type in http://localhost/MyWebsite/
I don't recall setting a password any where? It works fine in IE 7. Please can someone advise as what to do?
Thanks
Brendan

Presumably you have IIS configured for Windows Integrated Authentication. IE will pass along your credentials by default, but FF requires that you explicitly configure it to allow this (there's a white list of allowed servers and such). Unless your app needs your login credentials (for impersonation or something), just turn on Anonymous auth in IIS.
---- You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets .

Have no idea about in the UK or in the Gulf countries, but here in the U.S. I think it was in the $45-$100/hour range a few years back. I could be wrong since it has been some time since I've checked.

Hi,
My 2 cents: Your email is available to us thanks to the link that is automatically added at the end of each of your posts on the forum, so no need to give it in plain text and feed spammers list. On contrary, I tend to ignore people doing this because they do not appear aware of such possible Internet issues, and I am not the only one to do so. That is a very bad way to scan for contacts and job opportunities.

There a few tutorials addressing this library on the net, which one do you suggest?
I need a clear, basic one.
