Getting info from database using a map with hotspots

[cretam]

Can anyone tell me how to get information from a database using the hotspots on a map - instead of using a dropdown select box. I assume we still need a form.
Does anyone have a tutorial they can point me to on this - I am using php & mysql.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you talking about using an image map? eg

<map id="mymap" name="mymap">
  <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126">
  <area shape="rect" coords="90,90,,58,3">
  <area shape="rect" coords="124,124,,58,8">
</map>

If so... they can have a href attribute. Just pass an id via the url. eg;

<map id="mymap" name="mymap">
  <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126" href="index.php?id=1">
  <area shape="rect" coords="90,90,,58,3" href="index.php?id=2">
  <area shape="rect" coords="124,124,,58,8" href="index.php?id=3">
</map>
