I'm trying to implement a zoom to component option where the user presses the 'e' key and it zooms right onto the component. I only want there to be one zoom level for this, since I am doing a zoom slider for when the user wants to zoom the entire svg at an incremental pace.
Here are some screenshots of examples

For each of the above examples, I'm selecting the component with the text "testing" and zooming in on it.
Here is the jsfiddle of what I have so far
http://jsfiddle.net/6Jg2A/3/
By component, I mean a within the svg. Which contains an image, text, and rect.
It isn't fully working yet. For example, if you select the pink component and press e to zoom you can see that it doesn't really zoom to it correctly.
I think that I need to translate the components as well, I'm just trying to wrap my head around how to do that.
Wondering if anyone could help. Thanks.
Edit: Also, the zoom factor should be dynamic based on component size I think. In other words, when zooming in on a component the end result should be a zoomed component that isn't dependent on the actual size of itself. (I hope this makes sense)
It will be easier to zoom the entire svg canvas, not each element separately. You'll also want to grab the transform from the element you're zooming to and adjust the translate property of the canvas as well.
I've updated your JSFiddle to show a quick and dirty alternative that works: http://jsfiddle.net/6Jg2A/5/

On succession of a previous question I tried to find out if the next thing is possible:
Take you have a render, like a soccer player with a transparant background. You add this render to your html & css. The transparant parts are now part of the image 'box'; you can't click on links under the image transparant parts, but you can see them.
Is it possible to make these links clickable? Thus having the image as highest z-index, but still have the links clickable and working.
(the links have a lower z-index because their background then stops under the image, giving a nicer design)
(Or said otherwise: have a .png image with a transparant background not shown as a box, but as only the colored pixels. Preferable only in html/css)
I think it is not possible, to be honest. If you do not yet understand my question, maybe my previous will help you:
need help fixing the link's clickable area
You can use pointer-events to make an event (click in this case) bubble through to the layer below.
No, it's not possible from what I'm aware of. However you can do similar things to what you want that may be useful:
Turn an area into a link using <map>
Use pointer-events:none so that clicks are ignored on the top element
IE 10 provides the non-standard msElementsFromPoint method that allows you to "peek below" an element; you can do that inside the click handler and determine if the click point overlaps an anchor. If it does, triggering that element's click event would do what needs to be done.
Unfortunately I am not aware of similar functionality for other browsers or earlier versions of IE.
I was wondering if it's possible to have different levels of zoom which can shows differents levels of information.
It's probably not really clear so the idea is that :
At normal zoom : only images
Maximum zoom : caption of the images
Minimum zoom : symbols corresponding to images (like pictogram)
And it could be really great if these layers can mix themselves with an idea of transparency.
Zoom between minimum and normal would show images at 50% of opacity and their symbols at the same level of opacity.
Thanks you in advance,

If you want to add a zoom feature to only some parts of your website: This can be done in JavaScript; You can set a different class on your body-element for each zoom level, and then define which contents are displayed in a style sheet.
Look at this JSFiddle for a rough concept.
If you want to implement a zoom for all of your website, not just parts, check out this question.
I have to place on a web page a cylinder that looks like this:
it is composed by small images that overlaps to draw the curves on the surface. Every one of them is places on the page with a different img tag enveloped in an anchor with its own href. The z-index property of the img is used to make them overlap in the right way.
The cylinder has to be composed because it is dynamically created, as you can see from the image, its faces can have different colors.
What i need to do is to make all the faces clickable and each one has to point to a different URL.
My problem is, of course, that the cylinder has curves. And i have to be sure that the clicks points to the correct URL especially near the curves, it hasn't to be precise at pixel level, but at least acceptable.
I've tried to use a map with a single area for each of the images that composes the cylinder, but of course it didn't work, as i saw from the specifications, in such cases only the first declared map in the DOM works.
I'm thinking about to solve this via Javascript, but i think it wouldn't be an easy job, so i would be happy if someone can give me some advice on what should i try.
Oh, i cannot use HTML5 features to solve this.
Neat application of older technology to solve a challenging puzzle.
I can think of two ways forward for you. One is to put a transparent (rectangular) image on top of the cylinder and create an HTML image map, using the shape="poly" attribute. For resources, search for the HTML elements map and area for reference, especially the shape attribute. There should be many good tutorials online. Nowadays this technique isn't used that much any more, but it was really popular in the late 90s.
Another way is to use event delegation in javascript, attaching an event listener to the primary container. On each of your image "pixels" apply a CSS class for the appropriate portion of the cylinder it is in. In your event handler, you can do something differently depending on the class of the clicked on image, and you can do this without the massive overhead of attaching an event on each individual "pixel". In JQuery this would be something like:
$("#cylinder").on("click", ".green", function() { location.href = "green_url"; }
$("#cylinder").on("click", ".red", function() { location.href = "red url"; }
assuming you put class="green" on your green pixels and class="red" on your red pixels. (You can do this by quadrant or other technique; color is just an example).
Your best luck SVG ! https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SVG/Tutorial
It is almost impossible with html dom elements to do this, you will have to bend it with CSS compatible all browsers.
There is also Canvas but you will have a hard time dealing with the clicks.
Only problem with SVG is that it's not supported in < IE8, and hardly in IE8. But bending a DOM element is also not available < IE9.
EDIT:
I saw that you can't use HTML5, so your only chance is generating the whole image in GD2 for example and trying to map the points. But what is the reason you can't use HTML5 ?
You might also try doing it using javascript / canvas via getImageData() function. This canvas function will rgba values of the given point. Using the alpha value you can check if mouse is over or clicking on the correct area or if it is a transparent area and nothing should happen.
I also made jquery plugin exactly for this purpose. Maybe it might help. http://www.cw-internetdienste.de/pixelselection/
I am reading this tutorial about making draggable and resizable rectangles
http://simonsarris.com/blog/225-canvas-selecting-resizing-shape
It is a good one and I want to create a similar one using images and this is what I had done
http://jsfiddle.net/LUhsK/2/
all i had done is to change the script that instead of drawing a square I draw an image given the image source, initial X, initial Y, width and height but as you can see it doesn't work. I really can't find what seems to be the problem
If I clearly understood what you are searching for I guess it can be easily resolved with
droppedElement = ui.helper.clone();
droppedElement.resizable();
I'm created a very large map with many poly areas (over 20 coordinates each) for regions within the map. However, you can't add css to the AREA tag as I was told it's not a visible element. What I want to do is when the user hovers over an area on the map, I want it to be "highlighted" by applying a 1px border to the specific AREA element. Is there a way of doing this? No, I'm not going to resort using rectangles.
Not possible with CSS.
You might check out the Map Hilight jQuery plugin, though.
EDIT 10.2011
ImageMapster is a more recent, and more powerful plugin you should also check out.
If you want to be able to use arbitrary shapes and still use styles, have you considered trying SVG?
I'm not an SVG master but here's an example I whipped up: http://jsfiddle.net/tZKuv/3/. For production you may want to replace the default stroke with none, I used gray so you can see where it is.
The disadvantage is that you'd lose the ease-of-use area/map gives you, but I imagine you can accomplish your goal if you go this route. I added cursor: pointer to the polygon and you can add onclick handlers to simulate the href of <area>.
An obvious caveat is browser support. This seems to be working in Chrome, and I am pretty sure it should work in IE9 (jsfiddle's not working in IE9 at the moment), but previous versions of IE don't support SVG.
Update: Made a quick test page to test IE9. It does indeed work as expected. Here's the source.
Update again: This would also solve the zooming problem you asked about in another question.
Nope, there is no way to do this as you describe. I've researched it and tried. What you can do is set up mouseover events on the various segments and swap some overlay image that is shaded in the same area.
