<a href="''URL''" title="''hover box text''">''link label''</a>

Depending on the browser, when the cursor hovers over the link, it changes into a hand with a stretched index finger and the hover box text pops up, not in a regular window, but in a special hover box, which disappears when the cursor is moved away.
