Mouse Over What's This

[Bobba Buoy]

Is there any way to create "What's This?" dialog (pop-up) that comes up on the mouseover event of a link? I assume that this would be done with javascript?

Are you talking about simple alts? If you aren't please excuse me, else try this:


<a href="link.html" alt="Here is the tooltip!">A link!</a>

aluminumpork, you mean the title attribute.

The alt attribute is only allowed on img, area, input, and applet elements.
