I'd like to print detail of the item when mouse is over that item on the map. The details would be user defined and stored in a file. Thx :)

This is a question-and-answer site. If you would like to make suggestions as to how openstreetmap.org can function better, please use http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ , or better still get involved and contribute code. Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, you want to create a map where you can hover over items and display some user-defined information for the item in question. This is not strictly an OpenStreetMap related question, since any base map could be used for this! If you want to do this in a web browser, you'll likely end up using the OpenLayers or Leaflet library, and store your data in something like a KML file. Use your favourite search engine to look for "OpenLayers" or "Leaflet" together with a term like "popup markers" and you'll find some examples.
