Stardate 20010721.1237 (Crew, this is the Captain): Weekends are always slow, and today I'm amusing myself with a small site redesign (as you will notice). It has some advantages in that it means that all pages will now use the same header and sidebar, whereas there used to be two of each. It also lets me use a bigger font size in the header, and also makes the header less cluttered. I'm running up against my limit of ignorance, though. In the name of making things look better, some of the entries on the sidebar are now quite brief, and I'd like to have popup alt-tags appear on a mouse hover (for instance, to explain why I'm offering fonts), but I can't figure out how it's done. "alt=" works for pictures but not for text. I've seen it happen but I can't find the page where it was done in order to copy it. Anyone care to clue in the Clueless Captain?
(discuss)Update: Scott writes to tell me that what I was looking for is "title=". No wonder "alt=" didn't work.
