I have partially added point-and-click movement to the PNG, GIF, and JPG rendering methods for square and hexagonal boards. It will let you move a piece by clicking on it and then its destination with your mouse. But when you first click on a piece, it will not give you any visual indication of what piece you clicked on. These rendering methods create a single graphic image and overlay it with an imagemap. The problem is with trying to highlight an AREA. This HTML element does not seem to use the CSS border style properties, and I have found no way with CSS or HTML to highlight the AREA element clicked on. I would like to do this without having to draw a new board image. One idea I have is to blanket the image with transparent images whose borders can be turned on when needed. But it is too late to try this tonight.
