Use this tool to create the image map

http://www.image-maps.com

the jquery would be added into the area shape tag

Administrator answers:

Sure…give the divs a class, like….fadeMe

$(“.fadeMe”).hide().each(function(i) {
$(this).delay(i*1500).fadeIn(1500);
});

just change the delay and fadein timers to meet your needs.

Hi Rawn:

Are you asking how to program in JQuery or how to write a computer language.

I come from the olden days where we developed our own assemblers for Z-80, TRS-80 and 8088, Vic 20 systems. You used the assembler in those day to develop the high level languages such as Basic, Cobol, Fortran, C etc. C was the closest “abstraction” to assembler in those days which is what is used to this day in various forms to design device drivers.

However, because they were so useful they could be dangerous as well such as virus, worms or other nasty stuff.

In came the idea of the Virtual Machine and you can find many links on how this protects the system. Languages such as Java, JQuery etc were build with this model or I should say build on top of this model based on the original C. Basically you are programming on top of a restricted level, that programs on top of a level. Think of layers of an Apple. The real one not the computer company.

The user is on the skin level he is never allowed to bite down to the core as that would be fatal to him. Apple seeds contain arsenic a deadly poison if you eat enough of them. Below the white of the apple is the Virtual Machine below that is the apple core which is the most import part of the Apple system. Again the fruit not the company. Lol

There are still assemblers and virtual assemblers out there that you can use to design new computer languages or whole systems. The best place is to look for Open Source Projects and Linux groups that have a lot of knowledge. Yes, even for PC Windows only users much can be gained from their research.

I’ve written several languages myself in the past. It requires a great deal of work and I suggest you get with a team of people on the open source groups for best results. You should look into OOP model as well. That is the direction everything has been lately in the Windows world. OOP stands for Object Oriented Programming. Textbox, Listbox, combobox etc. Inside of Visual Basic and C++. C# and all the resent MS systems are based on this. Trouble with these however for the blind is they are very visually oriented and not logical oriented tools.

One of the things I’m trying to work on is an answer to that for the blind. IE. A non-OOP, solution that works just as well without going back to the dos prompt commands of old but I need supporters.

Javascript vs actionscript

Both javascript and actionscript are children of ECMA script. European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) standardized the communication technology with ECMA script.Both shares the same syntax with slight changes. Both does a tremendous job in different platforms. Here i omit jquery from consideration because jquery is a javascript library which is built on javascript.

Actionscript:

Actionscript does various supportive and integerated functionalities with serverside scripting well, There is a good support and community platform.Action script can be used for desktop application development (Adobe AIR). Easy to develop and we have more support with code hint and syntax hint with the help of flash and flex IDE.In account of browser support apart from the effect it gives, actionscript relies on swf engine again. No DOM model and poor css implementation. So that adobe provide the layout class to improve enormous design oriented functionalities. Actionscript is good in rendering shapes and animating it smoothly,but flash is a bit slow because of frame by frame rendering. AS doesnt support much with SEO point of view though adobe gives some useful tips.
As is expensive

The main advantage of AS is that well documented and well implementation of ECMA including object oriented programming. Since it uses flash engine the performance will be same on all the browsers that supports swf.

Javascript:

Javascript runs inside the browser and requires no separate engine, It communicates with browser directly and it has access to the DOM element as such. Desktop application development is cumbersome with javascript though it has Access to the css is also good. Since it has these two strong point it is a bit faster than actionscript.But as far as smoothness and effect is little less. Javascript is somewhat difficult to develop since it has no proper IDE or syntax helping tool.Though javascript has enormous access on browser there is a small disadvantage where every browser has its own different engine to parse javascript. So browser compatability issue stays there in. On SEO point JS is well supported and you can see it live on google sites.
JS is all freee.

The main advantage of JS is it can be used inside browser at any extent if you want to do it with browser alone. Since it is a general purpose scripting it is widely used.

Note:

If you are developing an application on these two, Consider your requirement and compatability since these two are good in different platforms

Administrator answers:

Sure. You can make JQUERY to change any class / style of an element (even knowing that maybe, some times, css is a better solution).

Go to: http://www.visualjquery.com

It’s a great website for Jquery users.
