Question

Answer 1

A:

Until you give us more specific information, here's your solution:

$("span#equipment").click(function(){
  $(".invisiDiv").show(); // .toggle() if you need it to close with next click
});

--

<p><span id="equipment">Equipment</span></p>
<div class="invisiDiv" style="display:none;">
  <p>This div will be shown once you click on the span element above</p>
</div>

If you need this .invisiDiv to say near your mouse at all times, you can dynamically reposition it according to the current x/y position of the mouse:

$("span#equipment").click(function(e){
  $(".invisiDiv")
    .css({top:e.pageX,left:e.pageY})
    .show(); // .toggle() if you need it to close with next click
});

And add the following CSS rules to it:

.invisiDiv { position:absolute; width:100px; height:15px; }

Answer 2

+1 A:

I'd suggest adding a hidden div:

<div id="message">
This is a message
</div>

with CSS:

#message { position: absolute; display: none; }

and then show it:

$("#equipment").click(function(evt) {
  $("#message").css({
    top: evt.pageY,
    left: evt.pageX
  }).toggle();
});

Here's a complete example:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
  $("#equipment").click(function(evt) {
    $("#message").css({
      top: evt.pageY + 5,
      left: evt.pageX + 5
    }).show();
  });
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
html, body, div { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0 none; }
#wrapper { margin: 0 auto; width: 600px; }
#equipment { color: green; }
#message { display: none; position: absolute; text-align: center; padding: 10px; width: 120px; background: red; color: white; font-weight: bold; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">

</html>

Well that's a 100% working example there. What exactly does "nothing is happening" mean?
