Preview file from link?

I have a page with links to different files (doc, pdf, jpg, tiff, xls
etc.) - now I am supposed to let the user preview them by holding the mouse
over a link, somewhat like Vistas function when you hold the mouse over a
program in the taskbar it pops up - can this be done i asp and how?

You can use ajax to achieve this. Try jQuery - Boxover.
or any similar Jquery plugin.

Hmm I have looked it over but cannot see how to do that, do you have an
example of previewing a .doc file on mouseover using jQuery?

Well this is just the mouse over part. What you display in it is
something different. I am sure there are ways to get contents of a doc
file. But It's not my expertise.

The hover over popup image is the easy bit. The hardbit is creating the
preview image from this disparate set of file types in the first place. For
that you'll need some third party component, do you such a thing? If not
you're not going to get very far.

I do not have the component, but if you know of one (or more) that can do
that, I will take a look at them and see if we shall invest in it.
