How does one do that? So that when you hover over the link, a description of the page appears?

I think this is what you're talking about...

Text:
<a href="link" title="your title">link</a>

Image:
<a href="link"><img src="image.gif" alt="alt text"></a>

no... its an img... the link is the picture i think and then when u do the tag like this : <IMG SRC="WHATEVER.GIF" ☼ALT="Whatever u want to pop up when u put ur mouse oiver this!☼">



the ALT is the message... at least thats my inderstadning of it.

yeah, the ALT is the message for an image, the TITLE is the message for a link, that's what she had explained. :)
