How to achieve this effect?

On a web page, when moving the cursor to an icon, button or a piece of
text, a rectangle slot would automatically appear, in which some text
is there explaining what the web page is about. For instance, moving
the cursor to the top of the IE browser and stop at an icon, a slot
would appear. The text in it would be 'Back to . . .', 'Stop',
'Refresh', and so on. This program is quite popular, actually
everywhere. But I don't know how to do it.

I like to achieve this effect in my web pages. Can anybody tell me
what program I have to learn? Thanks.

I reckon you're the same person that asked this question in
comp.lang.javas cript 24 hours ago? The answer (again) is that this
functionality can be implemented for common browsers by using the title
attribute that most HTML elements accept.

Hi, I have a class for buttons which relies on IE's misinterpretation of "overflow: visible" to set a minimum width - I.E. will automatically horizontally expand any buttons whose text doesn't fit. This is exactly the behaviour I want, but is non-standard, and Firefox simply truncates the text (actually I thought it was supposed to spill outside the button, but either way is useless). I've tried using min-width under Firefox to get...

Dear Pros, How can I achieve a nicer hover-effect for the image "tomasio.design" on the bottom-right of my webpage? I am using the class ".footer a:hover" for a CSS-based mouseover-effect but this causes an ugly green block to the left of the image while hovering the mousepointer over it. I just want to link that image to my index-page, without any mouseover effect if possible. Any hints? Plus I get an error message from the...
