Tooltip with other Mouse Effects

[th1chsn]

Hello, I am setting up a navigation bar and I was wondering if there was a way for me to include a tooltip in addition to the mouse effects that I currently have setup. I just want the user to be able to know what the link is when they click and hover over it.

Here is what I have so far:

<a href="?m=admin"
onMouseOver="document.images['Admin'].src='images/nav_Admin_over.jpg'"
onMouseOut=" document.images['Admin'].src='images/nav_Admin_up.jpg'" onMouseDown="document.images['Admin'].src='images/nav_Admin_down.jpg'"
onMouseUp=" document.images['Admin'].src='images/nav_Admin_up.jpg'">
<img width="47" height="40" border="0" src="images/nav_Admin_up.jpg" name="Admin" id="Admin">
</a>

TIA

You could use the ALT attribute in the IMG tag, or use the TITLE attribute in the A tag:

<a href="..." title="Here is a ToolTip"><img src="..." alt="Here is a ToolTip"></a>

They should both be the same text, as different browsers will give precedence to different attributes.

Thanks! That works perfectly.

According to the w3c spec, iiac, 'alt' tags shouldn't display 'tool tips', and are there in case the image is incaccessible for whatever reason (bad vision, or doesn't d/l). Web standards compliant browsers don't tend to show alt tags as tool tips, but only show title tags as tool tips - and ie does show alt tags as tool tips. This is a problem, since it has dissuaded some companies from using alt tags on images, since the duplicate text could confuse users or distract from the aesthetic effect. I always use alt tags anyways, the accessibility argument wins for me.
