As Joel says the timing of how long the title text is displayed, must be
browser dependent. With my Mozilla there is a delay *before* the tip
displays, but remains displayed as long as the cursor is over the link.

JavaScript and a pop-up will be your best bet. If you do not understand
JavaScript then I suggest you start researching it, books &
tutorials...because there is no HTML answer for you.
