Hi all,
I run a site where members can upload photos of events.
Please can anyone tell me how I could go about allowing users to tag themselves to a photo (Like on myspace, facebook etc) so that their name appears over their face on the photo when they hover over it.
I want to use ASP and MSSQL for this.
Hope you can think of a solution for me. I'm not after full source code etc, just a rough idea of what technologies and I will go study myself.
Thanks

Get the co-ordinates of the mouse via. javascript when the onclick event is fired on the image. Translate the co-ordinates to an x-y position on the image given the top and left position of the image via. javascript. Store the x-y position of the mouse click as the "tag". Then, write a script (javascript) that positions a span at position x-y on the image containing the persons name. |

hi Mart thanks for your reply.
Im working on the system now, along them lines (but no javascript).
I've done it so that the image is a submit button, that once clicked sends the x/y coords through a form. This is stored into the database, with the user's ID.
When the image re-loads theres a load of DIV boxes that have the user's name/link in it.
A delete link also appears next to your own tag.
It's not working perfectly just yet, but when it is i'll give you a link.
 Thanks for your help |
