It was pointed out to me off-list that alt as a child of ulink doesn't actually work. Looking back at the code, I can see why now. Anyway, it will work as a child of most inline elements, including the phrase element -- which doesn't have any particular semantics and can be used for cases like this where you just want to hang an attribute on something. So the following markup will work with the stock stylesheets: <ulink...><span><alt>title content</alt>text of link</span></ulink> And <phrase>/<alt> will work with any case (not just for links) where you want to mark up inline content and have a title attribute generated for it. So you don't strictly need to do any stylesheet customization to get the effect. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
