Is this: http://www.phpguru.org/static/dynContext.example.html what you mean? -- Richard Heyes -- Thanks for the reference Richard. dynContext looks pretty good and is similar to what I'm already using, but it looks like it also uses x-y coordinates for the top-level item (looking at the show() function, unless I misunderstood the manual). I had problems making it work on my local machine. The annotated.example.html displayed an error code (I presume) on right click. BTW I stumbled across cssplay in my search and think it may be the solution. Just trying to figure if lack of support for IE5 is a problem or not (supports IE5.5 etc and all other browsers).
