Answer 1

The usual term for what you want to do is "tooltip."

Your best bet is probably to use a JavaScript framework, like Prototip , which provides this functionality (as opposed to trying to code it yourself). (Search that link for the "Hooking" section to see how you would go about creating such a tooltip with Prototip .)

Once you get the mouse position, give it a small offset, pass the coordinates to your tooltip div, and remember to give your tooltip position:fixed.
