Hi Grant I assume you want to show a text as a title or alt tag, for this preferred to use jquery tooltip.... here you can show the text or text with image in short you can show anything on hover the link.
Try to use tooltip instead of title or alt tag.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could clarify whether it is possible to style an attribute. I realise this sounds odd, so allow me to explain what I wish to do. In my web page there are a number of terms that need to be defined. I like the user to be able to hover over the term and get the definition that way. For example: <dfn title="Made famous in the ‘Star Trek’ TV series>teleportation</dfn> ... produces Made famous in the 'Star Trek' TV series ... when the user hovers over the defined term 'teleportation'. I would prefer the words 'Star Trek' to appear in italics instead (yes, I am fussy). Is there any way to do this? I would be grateful for responses. Thank you and kind regards, Grant Bailey ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
