[Javascript] Display multiple images simultaneously

[Tim Makins]

Hahaha - someone always wants to know 'Why' ! I just love you guys.

OK - here's one idea: Imagine a point has been selected on the map - for
example, a .gif of a stick-pin/drawing pin/thumb-tack. Then, as the cursor
moves away, a line is drawn from the pin to the cursor. This happens
continuously, so as the cursor moves, so does the line. I could thus
indicate and display distance.

Another idea: Same scenario as above, but this time, instead of a single
line, 4 lines are drawn; two horizontally and two vertically, to form an
ever-changing rectangle whose top-left hand corner is the pin, and whose
bottom-right corner forms the cursor. I could thus indicate and display
area.

Those are what I ultimately want to do. Ideas ?

PS - silly me - Flavio is right - it does repeat.

Why would you want to use an image to draw a line?  either use the
old-school <br> tag, or use
something like Flavio Gomes' trick and set the background color of a 1 pixel
high DIV/SPAN.
