The problem with the mouseover approach is that disabled elements do
not have a mouseove (in fact they also block other mouseover events).

If I was you I would use the following method:
1. Track the mouse positions using onmousemove
2. Use element = document.elementFromPoint(x,y) to get the element
from the mouse position
3. Use element.getBoundingClientRect() to get the element position ...
this returns element.top, element.right, element.bottom, element.left
and in Firefox 3.5 element.width, element.height
