ASP Hotspots

[T. Utley]

I'm a newby trying to create ASP pages with graphic ads. I'd like the ads,
the graphics for which are called from an Access database, to be hotspots for
advertiser URL's. My search for advice on the subject has been fruitless.
Can someone tell me how to code for the result I'm seeking, or point me to a
help article or 3rd party utility that will meet my needs. Thanks for the
help.

First of all, competent web developers have learned not to put the images in
the database. They go in the file system and the path to load them is stored
in the database.

Secondly, the best way for a neophyte to begin to learn to achieve a
specific objective is to go to any of the many directory sites and download
samples, read articles, and try as many examples as possible..

Thirdly, as a neophyte I urge you to go to Amazon and buy a used copy of
"Beginning Active Server Pages 2.0" published by WROX (now out of print) as
that book proved to become the defacto standard, is considered a classic,
and has specific information about the intrinsic objects that will help you
achieve your goals using ASP.

Finally, client-side development using JavaScript is critically important
and you need to know about the JavaScript FAQ [1] which is arguably the best
resource of its type.

Thanks Clinton,

In fact, my images are in the file system with the path referenced from an
Access field. Secondly, asside from here and a couple of other sites I've
located, I don't have a good source for directory sites that focus on the
kind of question I'm seeking an answer for--any suggestions or pointers would
be greatly appreciated. Finally, I'll immediately order the book you
mentioned and I appreciate your advice. Thanks again.

Look at http://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp and their examples

Personally, I think putting the path in the database is a big mistake. Put
the image filenames in the database, and leave the path in the HTML, e.g.,

<img src="../images/dogs/<% response.write(yourfieldname) %>"

That way, it's very simple to move things around and to adjust the paths.
Fishing through a database to change all the path records can be quite
tedious and error prone.

Also depends on how dynamic the content is
For dynamic DB driven sites w/ File Upload and management of media (Add/delete/replace) it is often best to manage the full path in
the DB too
(to avoid need for FSO looping to find it in the future)
