Customised title attribute

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

Thanks ShawnCplus for your reply but this code
some link
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

css

// for a element titles
a[title] { font:bla; background:(url to image with round corners); color:bla;  padding: enough to bring the background out; }
// for all element titles
*[title] { font:bla; background:(url to image with round corners); color:bla; padding: enough to bring the background out; }
