Data handling input wanted
« on: September 28, 2008, 02:27:33 PM »
The basic concept im currently working on is this. You see a map of the usa, you click on your state of choice and your given a list of fugitives (from a db) on the next page. Simple enough.

My question is on the map itsself. I dont think i want to use google maps, too much overhead for what im doing. I was thinking a simple map image with html mapping for targeting the states. But i recall that the map's are a PITA and introduce more code then i think is really needed. I know the fugitive list will be handled with php and css, but i was wondering what you guys think for the map of the states.

I could even just do a state listing but this seems cleaner.

You're welcome to steal the source and the image.  I can look up the program I used if it helps as well.
