I just had this idea: Many browsers (like netscape and mosaic) show the address of a link (http://....) in the bottom bar (or where ever) when you move the mouse pointer on top of them. Wouldn't it be nice if instead they showd a small description of the link? So when you move your pointer over a link, you wouldn't see the http://... thing, but a small text like "this is a link to my homepage." This would be practical e.g with icon links (that are not allways 100% clear). (And don't start discussing about icon clearness and how you should use them) It could be like this <A HREF="http://www.clinet.fi/~wes" DESC="A link to my homepage"> <IMG SRC="a_picture_of_me.gif"></A> --- The other way to do this would be to show the ALT part of the IMG when ever the mouse pointer was moved on top of a one. -- Heikki Vesalainen http://www.clinet.fi/~wes/ wes@clinet.fi
