Do you mean a tooltip?

If so, be wary of using the alt attribute for tooltips in any instance: MS IE is the only browser to show the alt as a tooltip.

The proper attribute for a tooltip is title:

<span [highlight]title="INTELLIGENT WORK FORUMS FOR COMPUTER PROFESSIONALS"[/highlight]>Tek Tips</span>

This is also appropriate for giving tooltips to images:

<img src="something.jpg" alt="alternative for text only browsers" title="tooltip" />

If you want an alt tag on an image, but do not feel it needs a tooltip, you can use a null title to suppress the tooltip in IE:

<img src="something.jpg" alt="alternative for text only browsers" title="" />

As alt is a required attribute of img in XHTML, this is likely to become increasingly common.
