Question

I have a list of items like here in stackoverflow list of question. For every item's owner name is a link clicking on which it navigates to the the profile page(like in stackoverflow also). But my current requirement is that on mouse over the link I have to show a popup(like in facebook) with some information of that person. So how do this?
