Using the 'title' feature of 'link' technology for enhancing text
-
Just wondering if the technology that is already available for turning text into links could not be expolited for adding editor’s notes and on-the-fly translations to text. The idea is NOT to use the link part of the technology but the title part (should be easier and less heavy in terms of code). The result should be that when a reader hovers his/her curser over a specific word in the text, the ‘title’ feature allows him/her to see a note from the editor or a transtation.
Thanks for your consideration.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Well, I am doing it and have been doing it for some time but I have to create a genuine working link to make it function and that seems to be unnecessarily heavy on code and also risks that someone will actually click instead of just hover over the word. I was asking for the ‘title’ feature (for the note or translation) without the working link built in. But maybe I am missing something?

No, you don’t. Here are the instructions; it took me awhile to find it.

Brilliant! Just tried a test post and it works a dream! Is there a length limit that you know of?

There used to be, when that post was made, but I don’t think there is now. If there is, could you come back and let us know?
