Hi,

I need to put together a fairly simple solution as follows:

A state map of the U.S. is displayed and if one clicks on a state, they
are taken to a list of organizations and then they can click on a
specific organization and they are provided with detailed information
about that organization.

Anyone have any thoughts for me?

thanks,


Bill

The simple solution is to use an HTML image map: an image of the US
states along with a list of coordinates for the individual states
within that image; a hypertext link is associated with each state
area so that when somebody clicks on a state in the image, they
go to a page that you specify (your list of organizations).
A good example is http://www.usgs.gov/state/
You can probably use the HTML code directly since it's almost
certainly not proprietary.
