Hello all,

I am putting the finishing touches to a business networking site built in Drupal by a colleague and myself, (although admittedly this is my first Drupal project and my colleague has done the lions share of the work), and in my list of "nice to have features" are dynamic tooltips that pull up user information when you over over a username link.

An example of the kind of thing I mean in action can be seen at http://www.dontstayin.com (hover over a user's name and you can see their avatar and some other info).

I want to ideally pull their user picture, online/offline status and network join date through to be displayed in the tooltip. I've had a look at the "Hovertip" module and also some jquery stuff but I'm in over my head a little.

If anyone can point me in the right direction for methodology on how to achieve what I'm after I'd be very grateful. My PHP is limited but I'll be able to understand relevant snippets, etc, and can get assistance from my colleague.

Many thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention - all the information I would like to display in the tooltip is viewable on the user's account page and so I can pull all the information from one location (if that's helpful!)

What would be really cool would be for the content to be loaded with AJAX, and have a loading animation like Lightbox for example and then display user picture and contacts(# of contacts) and other info. This would be awesome!! Did you get something to work?? I'll start looking into it, any help would be great!!
