In IE you can use the "title" attribute.
hth,
bear

title attribute works with both IE and Netscape 6/6.1.
<a href="somelink.html" title="This is a link t somewhere">A Link</a>
HTH,

thanks, i will give title a try first

[Randall Twede]

yeah thats good enough..it works in IE and Mozilla but not in netscape 4.7...they can figure things out without it anyway...just additional help

Try to look at this article - it looks complicated, but works in NS. By the way, probably you could simplify the code a little bit.

well, i dont expect a lot of visitors and i dont think many people still use NS4.7 i just keep it around for testing purposes
