Im trying to create an interactive skeleton (human type) whereby when a user rolls over a specific point a popup/tooltip appears showing details.

I have a theory in my head as to how I should go about this, it includes a slightly modified coda jquery tooltip script and using co-ordinates.

My question is how others would do this? Ideally I would like it to be accesible to as many browsers as possible - i realise this isnt entirely possible.

Does anyone have a better suggestion than using the Coda for the effect?

You can use an old-fashioned imagemap, or transparent DIVs over an image to trigger the effect. I'd rather use beautyTips instead of Coda, but that's besides the point.

You may be able to use the jQuery Map Hilight plugin. It's using <map> and <area> tags, and adds nice highlights. I'm not sure how well it playes with the other plugin, it may take some work.
This has the benefit of degrading into a regular <img> with area tooltips.
