Trevor ... I actually I think I responded to your question, but I'll explain
it again, here.
When you create the hyperlink, in the window where you enter the address, is
a button in the upper right, entitled "screen tip". Click it and type what
you want to display in the balloon. That should do it.
You didn't answer how you did the mouse over trick. I'm keen to learn/use
that feature.

Diana,
Thanks for the reply. Personal Email is O.K. In fact I saw your reply there
before that in the newsgroup. With so many postings (especially on the
FrontPage newsgroup) I can easily miss those I haven't read, even when the
newsgroup is also downloaded to Outlook Express.
As to: "so ... how'd you do that?"
I have to admit to a possible breach of copyright. I found the answer in a
book I am reading, which I had better not name. Its topic is creating
websites. However, I tested it myself as I am interested in "tricks" such as
these. Anyway as it is merely an application of code in the public domain I
suppose copyright doesn't come into it.
I have a similar question for someone, although I will plug away at it
anyway.
This is: How do you get a balloon tip to come up when mousing over a
hyperlink?
In my website, I have managed to get a balloon tip to come up over an image
which is a hyperlink to another image, but what if the hyperlink is text?
(That is, the text for hyperlink is initially quite brief, but when the
mouse is held over it, a longer piece of text comes up in explanation.) On
my homepage, I would like the text that comes after Web Page Analyser to be
in a balloon tip. (After all, it is only an ad., anyway)
