[ISO] Web page embedded help controls

["Phillip St. James" <saint0 -at- verizon -dot- net>]

I need some help with a web page coding problem that falls within if not 
precisely under the tech writing umbrella - as it were.  That said, sorry if 
this post is off the beam, so to speak...

Would anyone share some onmouseover tricks that enable the active area of a 
page to remain active while a JavaScript or other web page layer control 
spawns a sub-layer that contains both text and hotlinks (not the sausages!)?

I'm stuck.  It seemed easy to me at first, but cross browser requirements 
have made this more difficult than expected.  I imagine that Ken Jennings 
could do this in a snap!

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance,
