    Dunno  if  that's possible (popping something up in an image)
    with Javascript. Maybe that must be done  in  an  applet.  Or
    what  Venice suggested, splitting up the image into hundred's
    of peaces, putting the names into the ALT attributes and  let
    the  browser do it. For sake not every browser show's the ALT
    text when you hold the pointer over an image.

    Maybe I should do some tests.
