jQuery help, interacting with canvas... :(

I need some help adding pop up interactivity to my canvas map. I am really struggling with this. I want to add information to the areas on my map that have a stroke box when you click on the area.

Hi Phillip,

Are you sure you need canvas for this? One way to add interactivity there is to upload the map as an image using the img tags and then tie a map tag to it in which you can define the necessary area.

Check the description of the tags here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_area.asp and the example of use here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_areamap
