Pop-up box containing text taken from another file

Pop-up box containing text taken from another file

I am a (relatively inexperienced and unsophisticated) webmaster of a website to which some time ago was added a mouse-over function whereby a footnote appeared in a box when the curser was held over the footnote number in the text. To add this function, I uploaded jquery.js (date: 2009-02-19 17:34:21 -0500 - Thu, 19 Feb 2009 - revision: 6246), footnote-voodoo.css and footnote-voodoo.css and each file with a footnote includes an appropriate link to these files.

I now wish to add an additional function whereby when the curser is held over particular text (a name), a box will appear with text taken not from the same page (as in the case of the footnotes) but from another page. Is this possible annd how can this be achieved? (Basically, my website contains the names of many individuals, who generally appear on multiple pages and it is my intention is that, when the curser hovers over the name, a short profile of the individual with appear in a box, the text of the profile being taken from a separate page or pages that contain the multiple profiles.)

I would be extremely grateful for any help in this respect. Many thanks
