You know on this site when you rollover a thread title you see a popup of the message. That is what I want to add to my site but I can't figure it out. Any Help would be great.

Thanks

or just use the title attribute on the link (like in this forum)

<a href="url.htm" title="the text you want to display on mouseover">

The only way to do it in Dreamweaver is to do it manually if you are using the Rollover feature. Again as stated above just add Title="This is the title" to the HREF. This is a very important feature to make sure that first you are XHTML compliant and secondly that your site will be in a better position SEOwise. But that is for another forum.

Very useful...also just a note that when you want to put a title on basic text with no link (like put your mouse over the word talkupation in someone's profile) on your page you can just put the text between <div> tags and title the div.

At least that's how I got it to work.

By the way, Darin, I love your avatar...did you design that?

However it will do absolutely nothing for SEO but a great deal for usability.
