Link Titles Are Good...and don't mess with your status bar. Here's an example that should show up when you mouseover it. Anyone who frequents twernt will know what I'm talking about. I encourage people to use them in their posts. And Matt, maybe we could get another field in the article posting form for this?
fwiw, I disagree. I hate those fucking things. If you mouseover a link in the middle of some text, the popup bubble obscures the text below.
Personally, I'll stick with onmouseover window.status messages.

Ah, and I hate having the window.status obscured so I can't see the URL I'm about to open (or not). Guess it is a matter of preference, though at least your problem can be overcome by moving your mouse -- I'd have to view source and search (which is, of course, only for special occasions). If you do use window.status, displaying the URL as well, will let you have the best of both words. (I know you already do this Derek, but most people don't.)
