Mouseover links, I need some help

[pjskluzacek]

I'm have certain words linked inside my text to a definition page that I'm planning on bookmarking so each vistors will be directed to the proper defintion. What I also would like to do is when a visitor puts the cursor over the link the same defintion will appear during the mouseover, much like you see when you mouseover a thread on this forum.. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks

Type in definition in ALTERNITIVE TEXT when creating the link in the navigator

I only see alternate text listed as an option on menu buttons but not on hyperlinks you put on text. Is it possible to put alternate text on hyperlinks?

Re: Mouseover links, I need some help

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I found out it is possible to do if you could add the following to your html somehow

Back to: <a href="horizontal_rules.htm" title="Learn about horizontal rules">horizontal rules</a>

You get the effect by adding title="My message" to the link. This enables hyperlinks to have a similar description message to that which has long been available in images (through the ALT text). Use it when some explanation would help. If you are just repeating words in the text, then it is superfluous. It only works in the more modern browsers, but older browsers just ignore it, so it is safe to use.
