   This is such a stupid question. I've been hand coding HTML since I was 12 years old and for some reason this isn't coming to me at all. Forgive me.

   I want certain phrases in my blog posts to have rollover "tooltips." BUT I don't want links... because they aren't links. The popups are just little side snippets of thoughts.

   So how do I make a "dead" link... if clicked it doesn't go anywhere, just stays put on the page. Or how to I append alt text or a title tag to an inline block of text?

   <a href="#">A Link That Goes Nowhere</a> is usually what I do. But this is a good jquery thing :)
