 * I would like to build a page, with multiple areas. If I move the mouse over to
   area1, I would like to load some text in area2 and an image in area3. I was advised
   that JQuery would be the best way to do this. So far, I gathered that I need 
   to include the following in the head section of the header.php file (from my 
   theme):
 * <?php
    wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’); ?>
 * If this not wordpress, I would do something like this:
 * $(document).ready(function(){
    $(‘#area1’).moveover(function(){ $(‘#area2’).html(‘
   new text goes here.’); $(‘#area3’).html(‘<img src=”img.jpg”>’); }); });
 * HTML code:
 * <div id=”area1″>Area1</div>
    <div id=”area2″>Area2</div> <div id=”area3″>Area3
   </div>
 * But this is wordpress. What do I include on my page?
