How can you do screen tips in html?

For example, on Yahoo's homepage, when you hover over the link to "My Yahoo", a small box appears saying, "Go to My Yahoo"...can that sort of tip/pop-up be done with basic html? If so, what is the code?

    in an html tag you put title="your message here". for example

    <a href="

    http://www.yahoo.com/%22

    title="your message here">

    yahoo</a>

    title works like alt attribute in an image tag.

    those 'popup' items appear when you hover over an image with Text in the "ALT" attribute.

    For example: <img id=ygmalogo src=http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sch/gr/ga_a... width=264 height=33 border=0 alt="Yahoo! Answers">

    The 'Yahoo! Answers' it the text that appears when you hover over the Yahoo! Answers logo.

    for images include an alt="copy here" value, for text just surround it in a <a title="copy here"></a> set of tags.
