Selecting tile with mouse on an isometric map

Is there an accepted way of determining the tile your mouse cursor is hovering over in an isometric map with varying heights? It's trivial to map the position of a mouse cursor to a tile if all heights were zero, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a tile that has an unknown height. This is what my map currently looks like (excuse the placeholder graphics).

I've read about things such as image maps to determine relative positions, but does this work when heights can vary by +/- 512?
Thanks.

Well you're drawing tiles somehow and when drawing you have to know their position, as such it shouldn't be hard to map the mouse's position to the tile position.
A useful function for you might also be: window.mapPixelToCoords()

I was afraid that would be the best answer. Thanks though
