How to add Information about your Links with Mouse-over Pop-ups

If you can access the HTML code on your web page, then you can add these nifty information tags to your hypertext links. It's all done with a title tag, inserted into the link itself.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• A text editor
• Your webpage HTML code

1. Open your HTML file in a text editor like notepad or word pad and locate the link to which you want to add the mouse-over pop up.
2. Click picture to see examples. Within the link you'll see the address where the link leads. Immediately after that address (which is contained in quotes) you'll add the "title" parameter. It will look like this:
   
   "http://domain.com/page.com" Title="This is what shows up in the pop-up box when the mouse passes over the link"
   
   Make sure to put quotes around the text you want to display. Leave the rest of the link just as it was. Adding this "title" parameter should not affect the way the rest of the link functions.
3. Save your HTML file as a plain text document with an htm or html extension. Once you upload it to your website using FTP or your file manager you'll be able to access the page with your browser and see your mouse-over link in action.
