Transforming a dynamic page in a “Clickable map”

Is it possible?

[henry0]

This is a modif I would like applying to my own CMS
The pages are OOP and dynamically generated

I have a rendering of the page that is a map and by clicking an area my user may edit the area’s pic and content

But this is only a zones rendering looking like any average page as per my design specifics

Now I would like perfecting my system and allow an output of the actual user’s page to become “clickable”
I guess the first step should be to use a fixed width instead of using a fluid design

And then?
It becomes complicated for USEMAP is image based
How may I use a similar system for a page that is not an image but is dynamically generated?

It should be a good addition to my system:
Allowing seeing the results without reloading or refreshing the actual modified page.

Should I consider my quest as an impossible task?

Thanks

Are you asking if you can make a <div> or another block of markup "clickable"? Perhaps you could clarify a bit more for everyone, henry0?

[henry0]

Sorry, yes it would be a block of markup

Something like this past thread?

[edit]coopster beat me to it with the link - good discussion[/edit]
Ah, got it. Didn't understand the original post.

The way I've done it involves Javascript/DOM scripting and therefore will not work at all for anyone with JS turned off (and all the other caveats about browser peculiarities and whatnot). Will that be acceptable?

[henry0]

Hmm, I think that we are flirting with the impossible!

I would like not using JS
and to keep it within PHP capability.

If each area (only for the "edit" section) was included within a pic (empty) that will only be a 5 px border and within that "frame" the related content could show - possibly an Iframe for easiness -
so clicking on the related pic border should do the job
Is it an option?
