Googlemap highlighing specific country on map?

The boundaries of the countries are not provided by the API directly. However, if you find a publicly available data source and you can load each polygon in JavaScript, this should be quite easy to manage.

I'm working on such component now, but I'm using world map in SVG format, here it is. It is very easy to deal with it. Every country is DOM element and you can do what you want with it, change colors of outline or background, bind some event handlers and so on.

But the main problem with such method is that IEs don't support SVG without plugins, but you can use VML instead for them. Also you can use some flash component: backspace.com/mapapp/ flashmaps.com/products/areaselector/worl....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
