Mouse over pop up on link

[evergrean100]

I need a mouseover on a link where someone puts mouse over and it shows info but I will not be using link just want mouse over.
This attempt shows pop up box with Okay prompt which I dont want:
<a href="" onmouseover="javascript:alert('hi')">here</a>

This gives good pop up message but puts # on end of url if someone clicks on it:

<a href="#" title="hi)">here</a>

Any better way of doing it??

if you just want a title to appear, simply give a title attribute to a span tag (or other inline tag):

<span title="blah">Mouse-over me</a>

Or add return false in an onclick handler.

<a href="#" title="hi)" [!]onclick="return false"[/!]>here</a>

i dont see why a js solution is necessary. if js is disabled (yes that again) it'll still "add a #" to the end of the url.
