For starters, I think you need to declare 'verbose':
<param name='verbose' value='false'>

I forget which function name was used in mapplet (check the Java source). 
Steve Lime has developed a newer version of mapplet called jBox. In jBox 
the function you want is mousemove_handler(name, x, y). You can fetch jBox 
and some documentation at:
