I'm heads down in work and could figure this out for myself, but getting it right cross-platform and all would suck, so... What I want is a little JavaScript to let me put several rollover hot-spots on an image, each of which displays a <div ... at that location. Specifically, if I've got a map with hotspots, I'd like to be able to rollover those and display alittle thumbnail with a description and some links. Should be easy, although I know that there are some cross-browser positioning issues, and I'm too far in to C++ and scene graphs right now to want to spend the hours it'd take to get it right.

I found lots of examples to get started on..
Lots of bad example Javascript out on the web.

Yeah, 'zactly. Lots of "almost". And I don't think even the JavaScript book tackled this directly. I think the right thing to do is <div ...>s with absolute positions, toggling the appropriate "hidden" attribute with the JavaScript, but... maybe if this week goes well I'll get a chance to diddle with that stuff later.

Which edition of the book do you have? The code's not pretty, but I think that this one more-or-less does what you
want. In this case, it's an image map, not separate divs, though.
If that isn't what you want, holler.

How about seeing how flickr is doing notes?

I've never thought about Flickr because I don't ever seem to be running a browser in which it works. But here's a rough first pass at what I was thinking of.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
