imagemap onMouseOver solution

Question

I want to create imagemap with the few areas.

<img src="map.png" alt="map" usemap="#planetmap" />

<map name="planetmap" id="map">
  <area onMouseover="showtext('New York!')" 
        shape="circle" 
        coords="90,58,3" 
        href="#" alt="NY"/>
</map>

I want the text show up when get over the shape (like a hint). Can you tell me where the problem is? I find the solutions with combination of the css / javascript but i prefer the simplest solution.

Thank you.
