How do you produce a footnote effect?

How do you produce a message which appears when you hover over a word such as
happens with footnotes in Word? I use FrontPage 2003.

It can be done with either an acronym tag or a span and title tag.

Here's the span and title tag version:

<span title="This is the text that displays when TEXT is hovered.">TEXT</span>

The following is more useful than Steve's suggestion...

<span class="HelpToolTip" title="Universal Resource Locator, i.e.
http://example.com/ etc.">URL</span>

// Put this class in your CSS file...
..HelpToolTip
{
border-bottom: 1px dotted #585880;
cursor: help;
}

If that is not what you meant use the following search terms...

// the 'official' term
fragment indentifiers

// the 'common' term
jump tags
