Lots of ideas, how about an alt tag?

But maybe you begin with a menu using ul and li and moving your styles into a stylesheet.

Not all

Not all your styles

style="border-width:0px;"

But that wasn't the main point. Use an undefined list for your navigation before you think about adding anything else to your buttons

Add a title attribute.

Hi,

The simplest way to make a desired text appear is to add a title in the image the place whare you have written the image tag. A text like this will appear. Demo

Enjoy!

While most browsers do

While most browsers do display a tool tip for a title attribute not all do and it is not part of the html or CSS specifications, so you should not use it for that purpose since it is not reliable.

I tried on different browsers

Hey,

I have just tried this on MSIE6,7, Firefox and opera. It seems to work fine. Only problem i saw is with opera where it displays something like "Title: Desrcription" instead of simply "Description". I think that should not be a big issue.

I have only the latest versions of browsers currently so I am not able to test it on older browsers. Do post what you get on older browsers.

BBye!

The point is that a browser

The point is that a browser can stil follow the standards and not do this. So if the next version of, say IE, stops doing it you have no basis for complaining and your page becomes less functional.

Depending on non-standard behaviour for an effect is taking a chance that a pro really should't be taking.
