How do I code a URL address so it appears as a title rather than the WWW//
routine?

No, thats a system tooltip that pops up and isn't in any way affected by css
rules. You may be able to affect the look with desktop related settings in
more advanced desktop environments.

There is a lot more coding behind if you want a "css tooltip", here is a
simple example: http://psacake.com/web/jl.asp

There are many pitfalls to this, clever enough it is though. On
some browsers the "tooltip" is only half shown, and works better
at some text sizes than others. When the trigger for the tip is
near the right edge of a browser window, the tip in your example
above largely disappears off to the right.

Thanks for that fine example :-)

But..., I have some problems with this page :-(

First the colors are very dark on my screen, the dropdown menu is
unreadable (black on blacker ;-)
When I disable colors, the menu becomes transparent, mixing up with the
remaining content. I would like to leave the brightness and contrast as
is, but since I have the same problem with other pages, what would I
have to adjust, in order to make the dark text stand out from dark
background?

Another one, just tested with Mozilla and Firefox:
The "Narrow" dropdown menu is painted behind the "pure css popups", one
menu entry is almost hidden, and when I move the mouse down and hit that
other element, the menu collapses immediately. There's only little room
at the right of the menu, where I can navigate to the menu entries below.


When I want to add the same menu to multiple pages, I assume that I can
put much into a common CSS. But when some entries, like back/forward
links, must refer to different pages in each document, how must I split
the code between the common CSS and the page itself?
