OnClick and OnMouseover on same text?

Is it possible to put an OnMouseover event on a regular Hlink so that
hovering displays a JavaScript alert and clicking follows the link?

Thanks
Dave

Using an actual alert?
In theory, possibly, but not in practice.
When the user clears the alert, they won't be hovered anymore (to click). But
they have to click OK to clear the alert. So the only thing that will end up
triggered is the hover.

Use the title attribute of the link to display info when the mouse is
hovered.

It would be hard to click on the link, because every time you move
the mouse over it, focus moves away to the alert. Why an alert?
