Customised title attribute

Expand Post »

Hi Everyone.
My question is how do you customise the title attribute commonly used in HTML tags just like here at Daniweb when you hover your mouse over a thread topic.
Any help will be highly appreciated

Re: Customised title attribute

Thanks ShawnCplus for your reply but this code

Quote ...

<a href="blah" title="This is your title">some link</a>

will just give you the default sharp cornered box containing the text in the title attribute when you point this link. How do you change the appearance of this box like I see here at Daniweb and in the joomla administration?
Thanks
