Image map as a table filter?

[mrh74a]

Is it possible to use an image map as a table filter? I've got a customer who has a list of training providers, www.ndgtc.co.uk and they used to have an image of the UK map which browsers could click on to show a list of training providers in a region. I've recreated this process using Fabrik with table filters, which they are happy with, but keep asking if it's possible to have the old "map" they can click on to perform the filtering? The old method can be seen at http://www.ndgtc.co.uk/members.html.

Cheers

From the look of the old page, yes. In fact, I think it would be just a case of altering the imagemap, which has coords like this:

<area shape="poly" coords="87,163,82,159,83,154,86,150,87,145,91,141,95,140,103,133,116,162,125,175,130,186,135,191,138,199,137,203,129,203,125,197,120,194,119,196,118,207,112,210,107,216,102,216,98,211,98,207,93,203,92,200,93,198,94,198,94,195,94,193,97,189,97,186,97,179,98,175,100,171,96,171,91,175,91,171,90,170,88,167" href="northwest.html" target="_self" title="North West" alt="North West" >

The important bit is the 'href="northwest.html"'. Just replace northwest.html with the link to the table, with a suitable filter argument added like ...
