Hi Stefan,
in general: the usage of large graphics isn't a good idea, as they delay the loading time of your page. Another disadvantage is that graphics don't
adjust to the user's current browser window.
But if this doesn't stop you,
this article about contact-sensitive graphics with image maps might interest you. You could set the href of the <area>s to href="#" and add an onmouseOver with a JavaScript that sets the CSS-style-attribute "visibility" of the small pics from "hidden" to "visible".
The small pics also have to be positioned "absolute" and you have to give them a higher z-Index to get them in front of the large graphic.
Here is everything about positioning, z-Index and changing visibility with JavaScript.
Another hint: Java and Javascript have
nothing in common except the name. That's a real
Fettnäpfchen cb
