Ok, it's getting crowded around Manchester. The area around Rotterdam is even worse. Hey, you must stumble across each other! Big parties, eh? wink_o.gif

it would be a good idea if you made a little form where people could submit their names smile_o.gif

I thought about it but at the moment it's easier to read this thread and add the pins by hand due to the small amount of members.

One day Bastler you have to teach me how you did that. I want to make a map like that for my friends around the globe.

It's rather easy: You have a big map (here: europe.jpg) on which you position the small pin pics.

Just define a div with a certain CSS style, namely

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">style="position:absolute;"

Implement the base image and the pins inside this div. The pins are anchors (=links) with an image as link text. They are positioned by providing this CSS style (counted from the upper left corner):

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">style="position:absolute;left:123px;top:123px;"

Overall you should get something like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><div style="position:absolute;">

<img src="./europe.jpg" alt="Map of Europe">

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannover"><img style="position:absolute;left:565px;top:780px;" src="./pin_k2.png" alt="Pin" title="Hannover: Mr_Tea"></a>

<!-- ... other pins etc. -->

</div>
