Is this possible to recreate in jQuery? Preferably with a plugin

Looks easily doable with mouseover fading effects and tooltips. jQuery seems to be no prerequisite to be able to do this.

oooo thanks, looks like it'll be easier than I thought

Hmmm I've had a look at some tooltip plugins, but is there a way to make them follow the cursor while you hover over one of the links?

Like on http://heypapalegend.com/

my tooltip, wTooltip, does that by default, though you'll need to style it better to make it look as you want.

Wow thanks a lot! I don't suppose you have a demo of it anywhere? I tried but couldn't find one

There is also:

Demo:

The one at the bottom is probably the one you want to look at.

the page I linked to is the demo, I don't have a downloadable demo, just the code.
