AJAX is just a small implementation/subset of JavaScript. Trying to implement the Flash example in JavaScript would not be impossible but would be difficult to write. You would have to establish the page area, the position of the objects on the screen, edge detection and real time cursor position. That would be a lot more that just a roll over. I have a mini AJAX example on my web site at: http://www.creativesystemdesigns.com/projects/programming.asp I have some partially finished code that uses events to mange coordinates but it will be a while before it is ready for prime time.

You should be able to use JavaScript to trap the onmouseover and onmouseout events of a fine grained background image map. -- Stuart On 28 Jul 2009 at 23:24, Jim Lawrence wrote: > Stuart, you know that AJAX is just a technology and implementation for > establishing and maintaining Asynchronize and Synchronize communication > between databases and a web page. > > That is nothing to do with the detecting and managing events, like cursor > x,y and z movement on the screen which would be what would required to be > able to create a non-click web page outside of Flash. > > The only thing in common between these two implementations is that they both > require events. > > Jim > > -----Original Message----- > From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan > Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 4:23 PM > To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues > Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] No Mouse Clicks - was Web site > design...legalnegativemargins > > What's the J in AJAX? > > :-) > > > On 28 Jul 2009 at 15:58, Jim Lawrence wrote: > > > It would most like have to be done with JavaScript events.
