Can you put tool tips on your web page in Dreamweaver?

Tooltips for what?
Pretty much, you can put ttips on anything, using dreamweaver or anything else.
For images, add <img src="whatever.gif" alt="here's the tooltip">
For anchors, add < a href="whereever.php" title="The Tooltip">Click here</ a>

No, the alt attribute is not for tooltips. It's to provide ALTernate
information about the image for non-graphics enabled browsers. The fact
that Internet Explorer implements it incorrectly doesn't change that.
This is correct - use the title attribute for all tags. It will appear as
a tooltip in most browsers.

hehe...that took me a second ;o)
To answer the question, the TITLE attribute is what appears as a tooltip in
browsers:
<tag title="this is the tooltip">

Every once in a while, you just gotta.
The etymology I've seen for that is something like:
RTFM transforms to STFW for something which should pop up in the first page
or two on google. This is just a brief extension of that.
The tooltip question isn't a bad one; it's just that it's been discussed at
length, and fairly recently. I also understand that there's a search
function for webforum users?
