Interactive Web Page

Hello all, What I am looking to do i create an interactive web page for a festival I am hosting. I will have vendors setup across two blocks of the city.

What I would like to do is have an interactive web page where they can see the layout of all the vendor available sites, plus sites that are currently taken. Then i would like them to be able to click on the site and if occupied it opens the information of the vendor who has that site. Also if they click on a site that is not taken then i would like it to open the registration form and they then can fill it out and submit it to me.

What i am wondering is where do i get started. The only program i have for developing web pages is Dreamweaver MX 2004... it has done well for me in the past and seems to have enough stuff that i should be able to use it.. Although I have never tried to do anything this intense with it before.

Does anyone have any ideas on starting points or any web instruction pages that might get me started...

The 2012 Beercamp site does something along those lines, though quite a bit more complicated. Without learning to code for yourself, the only way you're going to be able to do this is by firing up that WYSIWYG editor and drag-and-drop like it's 1997. If you're interested in taking the time to learn how, I'd suggest learning to code HTML/CSS by hand. You'll be able to have much better control over the layout of the site and have a much cleaner site as a result. Not to mention cleaner, faster code than you'll get from Dw.

Festival Layout

This is not exactly the kind of interactive web site i am looking to create.
I want to be able to have a simple view of the area with blocked sections. If those blocked sections are "Filled" then i would like them colored differently, but also them be clickable, so that someone could click on the box and see who is going to be selling stuff in that location and what they are selling. I'm not looking for a story book for interactivity... just something very simple that people can go to and see what's what and who is going to be placed where...

Any other ideas or sites i can look at?

I understand what you're looking for. If you go to the site I was talking about, and look at how it's coded, you'll see a simple structure that's along the lines of what you're looking to do.
