jquery to have animated popup

In my main page, I need to have a main links displayed...and o开发者_StackOverflow社区n mouse hover of each main link it should display a layer (something like modal popup but a smooth one)...and in the layer user should be able to select other links.

It should allow the user to move smoothly between the main links.

Can I use jQuery for this? If not what should I use?

You could try a Jquery Tooltip plugin like the following
