Tutorial: Description Over Link

Have you ever noticed that some text based links on a web page display a small message when you hover over them?

Adding these messages, or "tooltips" is very simple and can be a helpful way of providing more information for why a user would want to follow a link.

example [highlight the link to see the tooltip] - hover mouse cursor here

to add a tooltip such as the one above, simply locate the code for any link which should appear like the following ;

[a href="http://w1office.blogspot.com/"]hover mouse cursor here[/a]

then insert the following code - title="tooltip message" - , so your link should now look like the following ;

[a href="http://w1office.blogspot.com" title="this is your tooltip message"]hover mouse cursor here[/a]
