Hi David
Yes, you can absolutely do this with JavaScript.
And if your users are using at least level 4
browsers (Netscape or Internet Explorer), you
can even track user's clicks on the keyboard.
Although I didn't go to the trouble of creating
an image map for the keypad I've created a short
and simple script on my website that you're free
to modify for use with an image map.
If you want help modifying this for an image map,
drop me an email <g>
HTH,
Pete
