Hi All,

Thanks Sooo Much! to all of you that suggested using a CSS
formatted table to do my 26 by 26 matrix. I'm now well along
on that.

It is a large table and I have a lot of <TD> cells that look
like this.

   <TD>
     <SPAN CLASS="cellword" TITLE="word explanation">
       word
     </SPAN>
   </TD>

This allows the webpage user to hover over the cell that has
the word "word" in it and see text that explains the word:

   that text is: "word explanation".

   For example, it could be the word's definition.

Here's what I'm wondering:

   Is there any way the write the SPAN line as:

     <SPAN CLASS="cellword" TITLE=@word> word </SPAN>

   where the @word "pointer" points to the word explanation
   text.

     That is, a level of text indirection so that I don't
     have to clutter up the large 26 by 26 table with the
     precise text of the word explanations - but can instead
     put them somewhere else is a neat little "list" or
     "array" and refer to each one indirectly (with whatever
     CSS users) as shown.

Any ideas hughly welcomed.

Thanks Sooo Much
Gene
