I've been asked to make a simple splash page by someone. I've been given assets - it'll be pretty basic.

So a large image say - 1000px by 700px and then on/in that image there should be a couple of little images that are hyperlinks and when mouse overed they should bring up a tooltip or mini pop up box.

Just wondering how people would do it? I guess my options are an imagemap, flash or a background image in a div 100px by 700px and then 3 smaller images positioned over the background image.

I've been given assets and they're not vector based so I think it wouldn't look so good in flash.

So how would you do it?
 
I wouldn't do it either. Clients think splash pages are fun but most users find them annoying; especially if they have to guess/move their mouse over an image to find out where it goes. 99% of the time, you'll lose more visitors than you'll gain by having a splash page.

To answer your question though, I'd do the same as Russ suggests.
 
Yeah I'm not too keen on them! But it's a gateway will let you know how I get on!

Thanks!
