This is an even better idea than what I suggested. :) I think a combination of both -- CSS and XHTML -- can give a more powerful set of tools for making tooltips than relying on the poor "title" attribute which should be used, in my opinion, only to provide something that someone would call a "reasonable" title for the element in question! -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
