Get the position of element on mouseover and then get the class name

A
DIV


$('#wrapper').mouseover(function(e) {
    var x = e.clientX, y = e.clientY,
        elementOnMouseOver = document.elementFromPoint(x, y);
        elementClass=$(elementOnMouseOver).attr('class');
    alert(elementClass);
});

If you don't want to apply this only on wrapper div but on whole window/document, then you can replace wrapper with window/document

 $(window).mouseover(function(e){});
