the answer from corey is the easiest, trying to pull data from a database just because someone rolls over a hyperlink, would be next to impossible.

If you are using VB script set the variables or use a Recordset and do the following.
<a href=<%=VariableURLfromDB%
Or
<a href=<%=objRS("ColumnName1
<a href=<%=VariableURLfromDB%
Or
<a href=<%=objRS("ColumnName1
Hi,
If you are using FrontPage DRW you can do this:
Open the DRW in HTML mode, go where you have the Hyperlink and add the following:
Of course, the hyperlink should be coming from the database.
<a href="http://www.YourWebSite.com/ThePage.htm" title=<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs

This answer came closest to solving the problem, but the text appears in the status bar instead of as a title. This is the HTML
<a href="http://www.sidoti.com/testticker.asp?Ticker=<%=FP_FieldURL(fp_rs
how can I fix this?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
Do not put the Title in the HyperLink Properties. No, click the page in HTML Mode and insert the Title Line.
It looks like your hyperlink is created using the hyperlink parameter.

In what section of the HTML should I place this code? I'm still having a difficult time getting this right. Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Ok, if you are finding a difficulty in putting it manually here is another quick solution.
Open your DRW in normal mode
Right click the field that you want
Select hyperlink
Point to the page that you want (now the page name appears in the Addess field)
Click on Screen Tip button. It is on top above the Bookmark button.
In the textbox that appears put:
<%=FP_FieldHTML(fp_rs,"You
Then press OK
Then press OK
This will do it.
