- keep it simple being the key phrase (tony Sanders wrote)
- and advertised his scheme for doing x,y mouse coordinate transfers
-
- I'm new to this mailing list, and I strongly feel the need for feedback
- of which part of the image has been clicked on (not neccesarely into
- rectanle divided), but I would like to make it simple for writers
- of documents too...
-
- Having the scheme of tony means that I, as provider of the document
- have to write some horrible script for deciding if the mouse click
- was inside my circle on the image or outside.
-
- As I don't know all the arguments that were used in favour or against his
- scheme, I can imagen some 'new' ones here:
-
- 1) not terrible simple for the document provider,
- 2) no feedback possible on the browserside
- (if the browser would no that a certain part of the image is linked
- to some document, it could highlight it whenever the use puts its
- mouse over it... this has the advantage that If I presented to user
- with a picture of some buildings, but only two of them are linked,
- the user would not get frustrated while clicking on the other buildings)
- 3) a 'simple' solution in my view is a document that would allow
- pictures to be overlayed on top of each other, with a certain picture
- color transferred into transparant (white, and black are two usefull
- choices, but any color should be selectable)
