In this article, we have shown you how to create new AJAX Services, create your own client side classes, and finally extend the HTML ImageMap control with AJAX calls to show additional information on some clickable areas on the image itself. A brief explanation was given on most of the code that was used and additional references were presented to grasp in depth all the ideas and new features you need to know in AJAX.

Happy Ajaxified Dot Netting!!

This is a great example, I am however getting an error:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'window.location.hash' is null or not an object.

I am not too clued up with Java, so any guydance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks for the example. Been looking for something just like this and has really helped! Never thought of using a service.

One comment: Currently, the code only seems to work in IE but a quick change will quickly resolve this...

Might I suggest that you change the very last part of your javascript file to look something like this:

// Register the class
MyServices.Location.registerClass("MyServices.Location");

var myLocation = "blah";
function pageLoad(sender, args) {
// Create a new instance of the class
myLocation = new MyServices.Location("modal", "modalBody", "updateProgress");

// Hide the popup div
myLocation.HidePopupInfo();
}

// Method called by the page controls
// to update the UI with the information
// from the ajax service
function GetAreaInfo(event, args) {
myLocation.ShowPopupinfo(event, args);
}

function HidePopup() {
// Hide the popup div
myLocation.HidePopupInfo();
}

If you notice, I changed "var Location = null;" to "var myLocation = null;". For some reason, the former would cause all non-IE browsers to redirect to whatever location was equal to (even when it was not null.)

Hope this helps and again, great example!

Interesting, but why is it necessary to use web services to achieve this?
