Can you help me here

I have used a graphics program, to create an image of a stick figure and I have created an HTML file named BodyParts.html that includes an image map of the stick figure.I want to know how I can create hot spots over each of the figure�s body part. When a mouse passes over each body part, display the part�s name in the status bar, and I want to change the status bar to an empty string when the mouse passes off the image.Lastly I want to know how to create alert dialog boxes that display each body part�s name when you click it.I can send you the screen dump as example of what the output looks like if you can give me your e-mail address.Thanks

I will be grateful if you can help me here.
If you do not follow what I have wrote above please feel free to ask me.
With Much Love

You'll need to use JavaScript. I suggest checking out the image map and JavaScript tutorials at HTMLSource.

Sorry to argue with you Ooble :p (again) but you don't need javascript to create the image map, just html. I went to that site, and here is the link that goes to image maps. It's in the html section ;)

You need javascript to set the status bar, i'll dig an example out of my harddrive and post it here

Here we go:

<img src="mypicture.JPG" width="564" height="451" border="0" usemap="#mymap">

<map name="mymap">

  <area shape="circle" coords="297,174,69" alt="this is the alt" onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg('message');return document.MM_returnValue" onMouseOut="MM_displayStatusMsg('');return document.MM_returnValue">

</map>

Have fun, just change the "area shape...coords" bit and then the message, you should be on your way!!!

LOI, what I meant is that you'll need to use JavaScript to pop up alert boxes and change the status bar message.
