December 17, 201015 yr Hi Guys, I am looking at developing an internal web page that can be accessed by staff via our intranet. I want to develop a webpage that loads an image of the uk. When the user hovers over a region of the uk, the map will display data drawn from the servers SQL data base. What is the best way to do this? Development language etc. Best, JMC
December 17, 201015 yr I would say PHP as it is server side You would do the map in html and css and the data that is displayed would be generated by php.
December 17, 201015 yr You certainly can do it with PHP but that means sending data backwards and forwards to and from the server as each place on the map is hovered or clicked. (OP says it's for an intranet which may not have internet access and we don't know about the intranet server's capabilities). You can also use javascript or jQuery which is all client-side like this link which is one of the links in Google for "map tooltip" http://alt-web.com/Tutorials/tooltips-on-image-maps.html Edited December 17, 201015 yr by Wickham
