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.
