Hello all,

I would really like to implement a dynamically populated tooltip for a series of names that I have in a list on my webpage.

I found this tooltip example on the internet that seems to fit exactly what I'm trying to achieve - i.e. hovering over a name and a tooltip appearing showing additional information such as age, member status, role..

http://rndnext.blogspot.com/2009/02/jquery-ajax-tooltip.html

I can understand the steps, and the blog itself offers the code for the css, js and markup.
Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about AJAX.

Ideally this solution can run straight from an XML uploaded on the server, rather than php, and I don't have room to implement a database just for this. So can anyone help me with the AJAX to get this tooptip populated by XML?

Thank you
