In my initial task with the help of RoelN, I was able to convert the provinces of South Africa into SVG maps and piece the map together quite nicely
I now need to animate this map which I have started doing but because the maps are all absolutely positioned and overlapping one another it is buggy when you try to select the right map.
Simple animation:
- Rollover a province, province scales up by 50%
- Rollout of current province, map scales back to original size.
Perhaps the best way to do this is to deactivate all other maps when the current map is in activate mode?
Here's the latest Fiddle (aaaaaargh not allowed to post Fiddle links! so much duplication and I have a working version over at jsFiddle!!!!) EDIT: See jsFiddle link in comment below
Here's the code.
