Not a C++ question this time... When you enter an ALT text in the IMG tag, and when you hold your mousecursor on the picture for a while, a yellow bar with the ALT-text appears. My question is: Can you do this with an A HREF link also? And how do you do it?

You can do it using Microsoft''s DHTML - it only works on MS browsers. Or at least I''ve only seen it done on IE.. I''ll try to find the sources.

I found this on this web page, well actually, to be specific, I looked at the HTML for this web page, and found the following code:

my profile

So to make it work for you just do this:

my profile


I think that should work for you, it works for gamedev.net!

p.s. If it don''t work, it ain''t my fault.

Sorry, I messed up there for a minute this is what I found:

replace the '')'' and ''('' with ''>'' and ''<''

(A href="editprofile.asp")(ACRONYM title="Edit your profile.")my profile(/ACRONYM)(/A)

This is what you should use:
(A href="youtarget.html")(ACRONYM title="Your text to popup.")Link text(/ACRONYM)(/A)


Hope that helped,

Thanks, it worked.
Too bad it doesn''t work with netscape (maybe in 5.0...).
