James,

There is no 100% compatible way to do it. For IE4+, you can use the TITLE
attribute on a link. The other option is to use DHTML to create a pop-up
box. Here's a DHTML sample:

There's an even better library out there, but can't find the link to it
right now...

Subject: <IMG SRC="" ALT=""> Equivalent

I know this is not a CF question, but it does apply to the CF App I am
developing. I wanted to know is the an equivalent attribute for the <a
href> tag for hyperlinks to display a "text bubble" like the ALT
attribute for images? The goal is when the cursor passes over the link a
text bubble appears describing something specific about the link.
