Help with zoom in java

[cachi]

Hi, Website page cluttered with many blocks containing different webpages/stuff: weather/maps/random stuff
I want to take this page and miniaturize everything but still keep it active so I can see whats going on. Then when I need to view something, I could click the block I want and it zooms in on it to full screen.
I've been trying to figure out how to do this, but I'm lost.

Basically I'm trying to make a dashboard. This dashboard would contain weather maps, html pages of site statuses.
I want to take these pages and miniaturize them into little active blocks on one page.
I hope I explained myself well enough.
Thanks.

I have not seen this done in Java before, that doesn't mean that it hasn't, or that it cant be done! But i have seen this done many times in Flash, there is also a lot of support available, here is a website which gives a tutorial on magnification:

Mimicking a Magnifying Glass in Flash
This is one tutorial, there are many out there for this sort of thing.

try looking at the dojo toolkit
or use an applet and a graphics api
if u just want maps use the google maps api it is pretty easy and with javascript
