    That is a pretty nice map and it is nice being able to "zoom in". I am wondering though why you built that functionality using a giant table instead of the imagemap function. It just seems more time consuming that way.

    Well, actually I'm not sure what the "imagemap function" is, haha. I'm still going to school for web and graphics design. So this is what I know how to do for now.

    ImageMap is an html way to subdivide an image on a webpage into one or more clickable sections. For example, you could have a picture of a clown and designate the small area around his red nose as a clickable link while the remainder of the image is not. No messy tables to deal with.
