'Hovering' getFeatureInfo

[willemvanopstal]

I'd like to recreate this example (http://leafletjs.com/examples/choropleth/) with a WMS layer in stead of a geoJSON.

Is it possible to let the user hover his mouse over the rastercells, get the FeatureInfo and display this into the infobox?

The featureinfo is only capable of responding in application/json.

You can subscribe to mousemove map event, use some kind of deferred/debounce logic for limiting request rate and finally call identify function of wms.Source, passing MouseEvent event data. The response can be processed using your own override of showFeatureInfo function (it depends on response format of WMS service and desired info UI behavior).
