chris... i'll humour you.. although i'm pretty sure you have no idea as to what i'm trying to acomplish.. or how to get to my goal... the basic issue is to allow a user to click inside an image map, and to translate the coordinates to something else, prior to sending the information back to the server.. the solution to this appears to need to be a combination of jscript/php... thus the posting... creating the imagemap is trivial. creating a jscript function that extracts the coordinate location representing the mouse location appears to be a somewhat more interesting... the primary issue is that i don't want to send the x,y coordinates in plain site. so i waste another 30 secs dealing with some clueless person... peace.. -----Original Message----- From: Chris W.

Ahh yes. I see the problem. There's no PHP! But seriously, you need to switch the transaction mode from the default value of reverse to the specification as outlined in RFQ4128 (i.e. forward) and adjust the operator settings to be consistent with the server adjustments... What's that you say? You didn't MAKE the server adjustments yet? Oh geez... I'm here all week. Remember to tip your waitress. Chris. p.s. This doesn't seem like a PHP issue so check this page: http://curry.edschool.virginia.edu/go/WebTools/Imagemap/CSIM_SSIM.html.
