You could try this, which will put a message in the status bar when you mouseover the link text.

<A HREF="xyz.asp" onMouseOver="window.status='Status Bar Message Here'; return true"
onMouseOut="window.status=''">Place link test here></A>

good answer

Thanks for selecting my comment as the answer. But why the grade of "B"? It could have been an A grade since my comment solved your problem directly. Note that a grade A given does not differ from a grade B or C to a questionner. It will not affect your question points value but rather it only affect your grading record. Your grading record will be better if you shows consistent A grading awarding habit.

Please see Tip #11 - Grade quickly and fairly
http://cd-eepages.fateback.com/asking.html

Please explain the reason for the poor grade.

I have changed the grade from B to A. Any time a grade other than A is assigned and explanation should be provided. Also, feedback to the expert is crucial to allowing the experts to earn an A grade.

hello....sorry...that onmouseover is onlyplacing a statement on the window's status bar. If you want something that looks like a img's alt text, use
<a href="#" title="hello">
it looks much better
