    I'm working on a site and I'm going to be putting some links on it. I want to set up my site so that when people click on the link, that link page will be loaded on top of my page, instead of replacing my page, so that when they close out the link, my page will still be there. I remember that there was a way to do this in the html code, but I can't remember how to do this. I'm currently using and older version of Dreamweaver (vs 3). Can I do this in Dreamweaver or do I need to do this in the html code?
    Thanks for your help.

    The title attribute provides a pop-up tooltip on mouseover in modern browsers.

    It is a nice way to convey more information, and aids accessibility.

    Only fools would load it with keywords hoping for a SE boost; search engines don't (yet) index that text.

    Thanks - I used to use them as a matter of course, but have recently stopped in an attempt to further reduce coding. Agree that there are some circumstances where they are very helpful for navigation and that there are cases where SEO efforts to load them are evident.

    Hopefully that will help uncle.al to understand that it is a personal choice to use it and not necessary for the new window code.
