Ditto on what Bryan said :)

I don't have the exact script you could use, but I wouldn't doubt that
irt.org has what you're looking for. The CF section is pretty weak (they
still link to allaire for documentation), but take a look at the DHTML,
_javascript_, and HTML FAQ's - it's a nice resource to bookmark.

Do some _javascript_ searches for things like "Link Tips" "Link Descriptions".
You're looking at a _javascript_/DHTML solution.  You can make super nice
looking link descriptions....basically a mini web page to display whatever
you want about a link.

I've used this approach in many business reporting apps where screen real
estate is at a premium and a little heads up on what's behind a link saves
the user a tonne of time ;-)

  Currently I'm using the "title" attribute to show a message that suggest
what's behind a link. Some times the message contains as many as 100 words.
The problem i'm having is that the text is only visible for about 5 seconds.
I need for it to remain visible until the mouse roles away. Any suggestions?
