with the <a> tag you can use title which produces the same effect.


<a href=# title="test">link</a>

There isn't supposed to be an effect with the "alt" attribute (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#adef-alt), except when an image cannot be displayd. Then the attribute supplies some text that will be presented to the user in the images stead. It's an important accessibility feature and you need to be careful how you use it. If you want a "tool tip" then use the "title" attribute (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#adef-title), which you can with "[a]ll elements but BASE, BASEFONT, HEAD, HTML, META, PARAM, SCRIPT, TITLE".
