Hi all,
I what to develop a page which holds an image of the world. Clients can state which countries that they have been to and the countries will be displayed graphically on the world map. Now there are over 100 countries and they can be put on the world map in any amount and combination.
I think that I can do it using layers but the download page size could be huge. I have seen some pages around which are a single image containing all the relevant counties using png files. The only way that I can find in order to download a single image with all the appropriate counties on the image is to have all the possible combinations stored on the server. This will mean that over 400,000 images will be needed for every possible combination.
Does any on know of a better way of doing this? There has to be a better way. Is there something that can be done in ASP?
Thanks
Graham
