I have this page [url]http://www.ivwebsites.com/features.htm[/url] that has roll over effect (please visit to see what i mean) on the word phrases on the right of the page. It is a cool effect but we want to track these roll overs I think AJAX would be the best route for this but not sure. For example onmouseover send the id of the div containing the text to a db to be counted. This will allow us to track what is moused over and if they are moused over. This will tell us if that effects stins for our individual possibilities. Thanks for the reply

@CrazyMerlinMar 08.2007 — bad, very bad idea!

I occasionally (and I'm sure there are plenty like me) roll quickly over lots of links to see the nice effect and to see how fast it changes.

Now imagine sending data to the database 6 times in 2 seconds.

Now imagine there are 40 people on your site doing that.

Monitor click-thrus sure, but not rollovers.

@thechasboiauthorMar 09.2007 — my boss would like to keep track of these roll overs. I understand what you say and am going to talk to him about this but what would you suggest to be a problem solver at least for the short term. I suggested a cookie variable and sending that variable to the server as a session variable. Thanks for the reply
