srdst13 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

A very simple question, more javascript than perl, I suppose, but the app is in perl, so....

On an imagemap, I want to present a 5-8 line menu as a tooltip when I move over specific locations on the imagemap. Do any of the javascript libraries to which there is perl glue (prototype, etc) provide such a function? (I couldn't find direct mention.) Any examples of doing this that anyone can offer?

Thanks,
Sean

    Nothing Perlish at all, you need the JavaScript 'onMouseOver' event. If you are dynamically generating the HTML, say with CGI, you can generate the event code there.

    Update: Further searching found HTML::Tooltip::Javascript which is apparently an interface to a GPL'ed tooltip library.
