[EHPweb] Ideas for linking to California/Nevada from homepage

[Seth L Daugherty]

This may have already been discussed/ruled out, but if I were a user from 
somewhere besides California, I might be a little unsure of why that box 
is highlighted. Maybe we could do a tooltip that says something to the 
effect of "Zoom to California region" when the user mouses over the box? 
We use nicetitle tooltips for the 10 degree and 2 degree maps, so maybe 
that would work here too?

Other than that, I think the border looks good.

Hello,

We've received some feedback on how to improve access to California/ 
Nevada pages for users from California/Nevada.  The idea of adding a 
border around the region on the U.S. map is still the simplest 
solution we've heard for the short term (besides doing nothing).  One 
issue with the initial example was the border being too fuzzy.  I 
cleaned up the border, so it is similar to other regions, and have an 
example with image map in place on ehpdevel.

Please take a look at the development pages and send any feedback to 
this list or directly to lisa at usgs.gov this week.

Any feedback is appreciated,

Thanks,
