re: image

To do something when the mouse is over the image, use the 'onmouseover' option. For the text, you can add an 'alt' to your image tag.

Regards,

re: image

If you want something simple, use the title attribute.

Note that the alt attribute is exactly that - alternative text to display if the image doesn't load/show up. It's not a substitute for the title attribute, though IE (not sure of other browsers) would like to think otherwise.
