How do you do a line from box to box like that? If it's too confusing to explain don't try to. Great job as always!  Greggacam [Talk Message PM Contributions]

The detail that goes into the maps can be very confusing, but the concept is actually simple since it's really just a very large table. Table cells are then either empty or filled with an area. The lines are made by placing borders along only select sides of empty cells. For example:
| style="border-right:#00f;" | &nbsp;
| style="border-left:#00f; | &nbsp;
The confusing part is that some of the area cells have a rowspan of 2 so I can attach a horizontal line to the middle of them. Then I have to remember that some of the cells in the next row are already being used by the row above it so I can't put anything for them.
The way I do it, it really isn't all that difficult. I map it all out in Excel and arrange it so it fits. After that, it's just a matter of typing code, previewing, correcting, typing more code... etc. until I get it all finished.
