The problem is how to populate an html form from different hotspots on an image. I don't know any code but I can alter javascript a bit and would give PHP a try. I know nothing about databases like mySQL but whatever is simplest and best would be much appreciated. I use Dreamweaver for making my sites.

(copy, paste, save as .htm-file, open in browser..)

Thanks oscar! That's just what I was looking for. The client wants to have customers click parts from an exploded diagram and have the order form fill automatically with part-numbers etc.
