[thelist] possible jscript/php/frames question!!

max...

i'm not following you here....

if i have something like the code listed, where would the submit/form go...
keep in mind, i want to have the uer select a number of points, capture the
information in an array, and then send the array to the server?

my research is also indicating that given the inconsistancies between
browsers, that it's not easy to develop a process/code to operate across all
(IE/Mozilla/Opera/Firefox/Safari) browsers that will effectively get back
the coordinates relative to the image.. this apparently is true when you
have to deal with the issue of scrolling...

current test code...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?
  /*
     test for image maps...
  */
?>
<?
 $_self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
?>

<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

function foo1(q)
{
//   str = window.location.search
//   document.write("fff "+q+"<br>");
// location.href="map.php";
// return true;
}
function foo(e)
{
//q = q+1;
 mX = event.clientX;
 mY = event.clientY;
//   str = window.location.search
   document.write("fff "+mX+" y= "+mY+"<br>");
 location.href="map.php";
 return true;
}
// -->
</script>

<!--
<center><a href="<?=$_self;?>"><img
-->

<center>
<!--
<a href="<?=$_self;?>" onclick ="alert(self.location.search); return false">
-->
<a href="<?=$_self;?>" onclick="">
<img src="imagemap.gif" ISMAP></a></center>
<p>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

str = location.search
 if(str)
 {
   document.write("fff "+str+"<br>");
   //location.href="map.php";
 }

// -->
</script>

</body>
</html>
------------------------------------------------

thanks

When you have <input type="submit"..> you'll get x and y values in
$_POST instead of submit.  You could have a big ol' image as input, and
you'll get the coordinates of where the user clicked on the image on the
backend.
