[ka-Map-users] attribute information

[Paul Spencer]

There is a simple 'widget' called kaMouseTracker in htdocs/ that you  
can take a look at.  The details on how to add it to your application  
are at the top of the file.

You could use this and in the callback function create a timer  
(window.setTimeout) that calls a server side script to get tooltip  
content for the current location if the timer fires.  You would  
cancel the timer if the mouse moves again.

Cheers

Paul
