Can anyone explain this to me so I can pass it along to my designer?

I want to allow a search
> by "COUNTY" which would be selected when a person clicks a specific
> county on our NJ flash map, I have added a drop down list of all NJ Counties in the Create a listing form so the info is there How do I make that search field?

Als does anyone know how you would associate the area(county) on a map to select the county in the form?

The image map part is a bit tricky but you could use some code like this (only with your map image and coordinates)

<map name="FPMap0">
<area href="http://www.yourdomain.com/newjersey/county.php/camden-1/" shape="rect" coords="484, 415, 594, 506">
</map>
<img border="0" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/hotspotmap.jpg" width="701" height="565" usemap="#FPMap0">

For a drop down menu search

Place this in your head code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenuGo(objId,targ,restore){ //v9.0
var selObj = null; with (document) {
if (getElementById) selObj = getElementById(objId);
if (selObj) eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0; }
}
//-->
</script>


Put this into the body where you want the drop-down list to show up:

<form name="form" id="form">
<select name="jumpMenu" id="jumpMenu">
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=atlantic">Atlantic County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=bergen">Bergen County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=burlington">Burlington County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=camden">Camden County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=cape%20may">Cape May County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=cumberland">Cumberland County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=essex">Essex County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=gloucester">Gloucester County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=hudson">Hudson County</option>
<option value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newjersey/index.php?county=hunterdon">Hunterdon County</option>
</select>
<input type="button" name="go_button" id= "go_button" value="Go" onclick="MM_jumpMenuGo('jumpMenu','parent',0)" />
</form>

Change the links to your links and add all of the counties and you're done.
