Remarks

The most common scenario is when a Title HTML attribute exists for an HTML A Href hyperlink. For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later and Netscape 6.0 and later implement the Title attribute as a hovering ToolTip, while Opera 3.0 and later implements the Title attribute as both a ToolTip and a caption in Opera's toolbar area. Not all clients display ToolTips for additional hyperlink attributes.

The value of this property is stored in view state.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.
