And if you want it to make it look even cooler, try this:

<a style="cursor: help;" title="exact">cruinn</a>

Notice that I remove the "href" property. Since you're not linking to a page, you don't need it.

I tried what you suggested and it works except that when I hover my mouse over it, it is only highlighted and the English isn't coming up!

What ya reckon I did wrong?

If so, this is how you do it:

<a href="#" title="exact">cruinn</a>

This can be seen on any article on Beo.ie.

Is there a way to do this? I did try [hint][/hint] etc. but that didn't work.

Will be so grateful for any help. Cheers, Sinéad
