# Hover Text

 * Is it possible to have text displayed when hovering?
 * I use the “info” Genericon before I list hash values on an uploaded file, and
   I’d love to have it so that if you hovered over the icon it said “SHA-256 Checksum”.
 * Is this doable? I currently use shortcodes with this plugin, but I’m not against
   doing it another way if that would accomplish this.
 * Thanks!

 * Huh. It’s possible. And in fact SHOULD be there with a default to icon name for
   the blind. I’ll see what I can do.

 * Okay. I think I’ve got it.
 * [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/genericond.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/genericond.zip)
   is the trunk version (or grab [http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/genericond/trunk/genericons.php](http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/genericond/trunk/genericons.php))
 * What it adds is a shortcode attribute called ‘title’
 * `[genericon icon=twitter title="follow me!"]`
 * Should work? I did quick test and it was okay. If you don’t put in a title, it
   defaults to the icon name, so `[genericon icon=twitter]` has the hover text of‘
   twitter’
