Well, my answer below does not use jQuery, but it uses a flash card.
In my last project, one of the client’s requirements is to display a world map showing the amount of job information displayed when you hover over that country. After you try some map solution, we both agree to use ammap .
ammap is quiet, easy to use and customizable. Without a license key, it will display a link to a website. You can put any text you want for each area. The area can be a predefined country, or you can define it, for example, create a new island and a country of fantasy. The map can be colored using a heat map or expanded, from continent to countries. The documentation covers almost all the configuration options, and you can also find out what tricks from the above example.
