Clickable United States map

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to find a map that allows the user to click on an individual state. Any recommendations? (non-flash implementations preferably)

Answer 1

Why not draw the map with canvas, and by using excanvas you can get it to work on IE.

Then you can use an onclick on the element and determine where the user clicked.

But, this would all be done in javascript.

Answer 2

OpenLayers can do this. See the examples page for an overview of the types of interactivity that OL can provide. It can render the states in the browser from a KML file (or other data formats;) or it can use tiles rendered server-side from a tile server such as GeoServer (site down at the moment), Mapserver, or Mapnik.

Answer 3

Contains an image map of all 50 states - should get you started.
