How do I create hover text over a text link?

Hi all,

Quick and hopefully easy question.

I'm trying to create hover text over a text link.

For Example, If i were to use the following code:

PHP Code:

<a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$post[userid]" target="_blank"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/greentek/profile.gif" border="0" alt="Click Here to See the Profile for $post[username]"></a> 

The text displayed while hovering over the mouse would be "Click Here to See the Profile for so and so"

That's exactly what I want, but without the image Using Text instead

For Example: (yea..I know this won't work, but hopefully it'll demonstrate what i'm trying to accomplish)

PHP Code:

<a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$post[userid]" target="_blank">$post[username]<alt="Click Here to See the Profile for $post[username]"></a> 

I'd like to put this in my postbit template so users can just click the username of a poster & get to their profile.

any suggestions?

where would we add that bit of code?...what template?

The postbit template.

inspired by the layout of vbullitentemplates.com i modified my postbit template so it looks like this:



what that bit of code does is creates a link to a users profile by clicking their username which when hovered over produces the text "Click Here to See the Profile for so and so".

wouldn't the "user stats" button be illegal to use.....

[justsomedude]

yea, I thought of that afterwards :surprised:

I'm making a new one now to replace it.

[justsomedude]

here's the new one...



didn't mean to steal anything, just thought it looked great.
