JQuery: Show a hidden div at mouse position when a link is clicked

Suppose I have 2 links in my page and I want a hidden div to appear at the position the mouse is located (mouse x,y) at on the page when either of links is clicked. Also, I'd like to pass in a value to set the title for the div (see divTitle id).

How can I accomplish this using jQuery?

Hidden Div:

<div class="boxFAQ" id="questionMarkId">
  <span id="divTitle"></span>  
  SHOW ME!
</div>

Solution

The below code will give you idea about showing the div. Proceed with your requirements and then hide it accordingly or display message as you need

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
   $('.alink').click(function(e){
    $('#questionMarkId').hide();
    $('#questionMarkId').css({'top':e.pageY-50,'left':e.pageX, 'position':'absolute', 'border':'1px solid black', 'padding':'5px'});
    $('#questionMarkId').show();
   });
});



</script>
</head>

<body>

<div class="boxFAQ" id="questionMarkId" style="display: none;">
  <span id="divTitle"></span>  
  SHOW ME!
</div>


<br /><br /><br /><br />
<a href="#" class="alink">Link 1</a>
<a href="#" class="alink">Link 2</a>


</body>
</html>

UPDATED
create a function which will be invoked on clicking of the link. To this function pass your message (any number of parameter)
So your link will look like this

<a href="#" class="alink" onclick="showTitle('This is the title')">Link 1</a>
<a href="#" class="alink" onclick="showTitle('This is another title')">Link 2</a>

Function will look like this

function showTitle(message)
{
    $('#questionMarkId').hide();
    $('#questionMarkId').css({'top':e.pageY-50,'left':e.pageX, 'position':'absolute', 'border':'1px solid black', 'padding':'5px'});
    $('#questionMarkId').show();
    $('#divTitle').html(message);
}

UPDATED
Functions with event parameter

function showTitle(message, evt)
{
   var e = e || evt || window.event;
   // ... rest of the code
}
