Default How to create tooltip on Frontpage hover button

I am using MS FrontPage to create hover buttons (not images). These are hyperlinks to different pages and I would like to include a tooltip which pops up when the mouse hovers over the link. There is no option in the hover button properties to create a tooltip.

This is the code
<applet code="fphover.class" codebase="./" width="120" height="24">
<param name="text" value="Button Text">
<param name="color" value="#000080">
<param name="hovercolor" value="#0000FF">
<param name="textcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="effect" value="glow">
<param name="url" valuetype="ref" value=Hi-Arts "http://www.hi-arts.co.uk/">
</applet>

Does anyone know how to include a tooltip or alt text?
Thanks.

you can use TITLE attribute for alternate texts with some elements but not with applets;

ah yes, thanks. This is a general text hyperlink but I really would like to use the hover buttons. Is there any other code that can be used with applets or is it just not possible?
