Frontpage and graphics generation?

[Dennis]

We own a wholesale/retail nursery and on our web site our customers can look
up items in our on-line Access database. The information they see includes
plant locations expressed as X,Y offsets within the nursery but, as you can
imagine, this isn't too helpful to the average customer.

We'd like to generate them a map on-the-fly which shows the nursery and then
places a red dot on it at the location of the item they are interested in.

I've written our site in Frontpage 2002 and I make good use of ASP but I've
been unable to see that on-the-fly graphics generation is an option open to
me with these tools. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Learn ASP.Net.

You might be able to find a COM object that does what you want, but it
sounds pretty specialized.

The simplest solution can be achieved by drafting a map converted to a
series of gif images displayed in an HTML table. Use ASP and Javascript for
interaction with the database and to dynamically generate the change and
display of gif images on the page.
