Maphilight or similar plugin, recursive mouseover()

Maphilight or similar plugin, recursive mouseover()

Hi,
I'm looking for a plugin, where I can highlight area-ojects on mouseover() . I tried using maphilight for this but I'm getting a problem with the following idea :
When user gets over field_a, field_a and field_b should be highlighted.
When user gets over field_b, field_a and field_b should be highlighted.

I thought of something similar to this
  1. jQuery('#field_a').mouseover(function(e) {
                jQuery('#field_b').mouseover();
            }).mouseout(function(e) {
                jQuery('#field_b').mouseout();
            }).click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); });       
           
           
            jQuery('#field_b').mouseover(function(j) {
                jQuery('#field_a').mouseover();
            }).mouseout(function(j) {
                jQuery('#field_a').mouseout();
            }).click(function(j) { j.preventDefault(); });










But this will get me in an infinite loop.

Has anybody an idea, how I can solve this problem ?

Best regards
Hassamu
