# “Title=” mod request

 * Presently I must manually add ‘Title=”blah, blah”/’ to any link I desire to include
   a descriptive hover flyout (which is most of them).
 * Ideally, I’d like a plug-in (or code/core modification) for links that would 
   bring-up a second input box (called “Title?”) for links just as “image” additions
   currently do.
 * If one exists, I couldn’t find it by searching.
 * TIA my friends.

 * Version 2.0
    /wp-includes/js/quicktags.js Line 371 `edButtons[i].tagStart = '
   <a href="' + URL + '">';`
 * Edit that to:
    `edButtons[i].tagStart = '<a href="' + URL + '" title="">';`
 * That will insert the title=”” for you each time. Not ideal and it cannot be used
   with the wysiwyg toolbar.

 * Or, for a prompt (the same as for the link):
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/7756?replies=7](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/7756?replies=7)
 * Note the line
    `edButtons[i].tagStart = '< a href=""'<br" />`
 * should read
    `edButtons[i].tagStart = '< a href=""'`
 * Mod/Podz – Any chance this can be edited in the other thread?

 * Thanks fellas/gals.
 * Your posts put me on the track but the link code needed some tweaking to work
   for me (using WP 2.0)
 * This code works like a charm in 2.0 when placed in the wp-includes/js/quicktags.
   js file (with the other edInsertLink function within commented out (disabled),
   of course):
 * `
    function edInsertLink(myField, i, defaultValue) { if (!defaultValue) { defaultValue
   = 'http://'; } if (!edCheckOpenTags(i)) { var URL = prompt ('Enter the link URL',
   defaultValue); if (URL) { edButtons[i].tagStart = '<a href="' + URL + '" title
   ="' + prompt('Enter a title for the link', '') + '"/>'; edInsertTag(myField, 
   i); } } else { edInsertTag(myField, i); } }  Notice my added and essential forward-
   slash following the prompt for title.
 * Again, my warm thanks for the rapid response. YMMV, but this is a _great_ improvement
   for the way I work.
