creating a popup or tooltip on a mouse enter

creating a popup or tooltip on a mouse enter

I have this function that came with a responsive image map program - I'm not at all proficient with jQuery, but learn as I pick it apart. I would like to run either a popup or a tooltip with a close button instead of an alert, and using mouse enter, (I guess?) so that it won't go away unless the close button is clicked.


  1. $('area#eastWin').on('mouseover', function() {
  2. alert($(this).attr('alt') + ' clicked');
  3. });

Can some kind soul help me with this?

Forever grateful,
GN
