I have stumbled upon the world of javascripting and css just moments ago and I have been given a project by my adviser on interactive maps.
The problem is I don’t have a clue on how i should start this project and one thing I want to know and find out is that How can I make an interactive map with just javascript , css and a little bit of php or cms?
I found these sites:
http://www.lglab.co.uk/usaSVG/advanced/index.html
http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2012/ecalculator#?battleground
both are related to what I’m about to do.
I want to know how I could be able to code an interactive map like those in the examples above with a little bit of customization and without paying for tools
You need to learn SVG – the only way you can really make event-driven polygons.
