Hey guys, I'm more of a html kind of person so have little experience witht his kid of thing and wanted to get some advice on how best to go about the below task.
Once I have an understanding of how to start it I guess I can go from there or if there is any free code out there that can be tailored to your own needs then that would be great.

Basically imagine on a page you have a number of buttons (or images) that can be clicked.
When visitor A clicks a button/image 5 times the button will move along say 20 pixels towards the right each time on the page.

^This is all fine, this can be implemented easily no probs.

The part where I'm stuck is how would you save this information so that if visitor B comes along and clicks the same button a further 5 times that it moves again the same amount but of course from the position that visitor A left it?

I'm guessing databases are going to be involved here?

ANy help would be appreciated :)
 
I too was thinking this, it doesn't work the same way as a hit counter so would be visitor specific not globally specific.

Do you reckon it would be more accurate in a flash applet instead? Given the above info you've confirmed I reckon it's going to be bound by the same limitations though.

Hmm
 
Thanks guys, I'll have a ponder around and see what can be done, I may well be back!
