alt text

it it possible to have 'alt' text for text and not an image ??

so would something like this be possible ? :

<font alt="this is alt text">hello</font>

try the "title" attribute.

i am not sure if it will work for text, but i know it works for links.

title will not work in NS4.x not sure about NS6

if you want to have mouseovers on links or texts you will have to do it with divs. I have a couple on my site.

yeah, i don't think the title tag is standard.

but you can very easily make JS/DHTML tooltips if you want

Yes, it is standard (for every html tag, I believe) in recent html versions. In fact, it is the correct tag to use for tooltips for images, not the alt tag, which should be ignored if the browser displays the image.
