Tool-tip pop-ups? Use "title=" in your Tags
If you've created web pages, you've probably used the ALT as

These "tool-tips" can give valuable help to your visitors,
and make your page look neater - you don't need to have long
explanations on display. By including them in a title tag,

Netscape version 4 and later should show them correctly, but
I haven't been able to test all versions.
Happy site building!
