1. Scrap everything.
2. Why do you have table elements in the formating of the page? Table elements are there to display large data tables, not to assist you with your layout. For the data that you have a combination of div + ul/li elements would be sufficient.
3. Stop trying to write up these small js codes for these basic little things, go spend an hour investigating jQuery and achieve whatever you need with just a few lines of code. If I understood what you want done correctly, here is an example of what you can achieve: go to http://sushihouse.eu/ and click on view map (bottom right). A small window will fade in. it's draggable and the x makes it fade away again. Now the code I used to achieve that effect is:

$(document).ready(function(){
	$("#mapbtn").click(function(){
		$("#mapwindow").fadeIn(2000);
	});
	$("#closemapbtn").click(function(){
		$("#mapwindow").fadeOut("slow");
	});
	$("#mapwindow").draggable();

what you will see is that I am using .click(function()... , you would be using .hover . Here is the events page from the jquery documentation.
