Simple changes result in better Web site usability. Often, users are unsure about where a link might lead. To assist them, use the <title> tag on important hyperlinks. Supported by Internet Explorer (currently the #1 browser), this tag will cause a small caption box to appear when a user touches a link. Title tags are used throughout this site.

"Title" Tags: Here's How

Using the <title> tag is simple. A link, in HTML, looks like this: <a href="yourpage.html">. Use your favourite editor (or Notepad) to open your Web page. Change your tag by adding the bold text as in the example: 
<a href="yourpage.html" Title="See the latest homework assignments here"> Doing this will cause the browser to display the title whenever a Web user touches the link on your page. Remember to insert your text after the file name (yourpage.html) and before the ">" which ends the tag.
