I have seen the link that you have advised to me. Perhaps it is too much
complex for what he serves to me. Practically, he would be enough to me to
create something of the type
http://bassmanthemes.com/modules/globetrotter/ or
smoot.sourceforge.net/smoot/

If I would make these with scriptaculous, for to move the image I can use
Drag&Drop and for display a tooltip when click on DX mouse button?

thank you very much
