Hmmm ...

Actually I don't think an image-map editor is what I need. The reason
is that an image-map editor works on an already existing image. What I
would like to do is simply present the user with a grid of boxes. Each
one would be a DIV I guess.

On that grid he creates stands made up of x grid boxes by clicking on a
given box then stretching it so it is made up of 1, 2 or x more boxes.
He then assigns some data (name of company, status) and saves.

All I would be saving here are some x,y coordinates and the company
info. With that info saved when the user returns to the page I simply
spit out a DIV with given coordinates for each entry in the database.

I think I am dreaming though. I could do this kind of thing myself with
the DynDuo DHTML library or something but I think it would take me
quite a long time. I was interested in knowing if something like this
already exists. But I realize a php newsgroup is probably not the place
to be looking.

Anyway, thanks for your collective input.
