Kureru, DoBbLiNg It is written in PHP, which holds a syntax that is the hybrid child of Java and C++. PERL happens to be its uncle. What this basically amounts to is if you know any of those three languages, learning PHP isn't a far step on a syntax level.
Skorpeyon It does work with tinyurl, but you must map the php script (no ? after it) through tinyurl.com's home page. For example, I would map
http://gaia.felocity.org/jakobo_map.php the
ismap property will then affix the ?x,y for you to the end.
Liseli I wrote it originally for the more programming minded, but based on this response, I am giving some serious consideration to a full step by step walkthrough (including how to determine dimensions for X and Y using programs like Adobe Photoshop).
It's so nice to see some people using this. Makes me glad I took what was previously just a little fun idea I had and making something more concrete and robust with it. Like I said, I want to have more control over hotspots than just rectangles, and if I get the time over the next week, I will most certainly add circles and the elusive polygon shapes, meaning you could have clickable areas of ANY kind.
I'm going to start a list of people on the 1st post who are actively using it as well, this way people can see what I am talking about in a more immediate sense. (the example wasn't clear enough for some I've heard). If you see the thread kinda dying, give it a good kick. I'll keep an eye on it, and you can reach me via PM or AIM if you need some help in setting it up.
