Hi Allen,

You need to use **Text Abbreviation**. It is used when you want to show text when we move curser to some specific text, link, image, graph etc.

\
**Example for each case is given below:**\

```
For link :<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Text Abbreviation</title></head><body><p> <abbr title="MindStick"> <a
href="http://www.mindstick.com">This is a link</a>
</abbr>.</p></body></html>
```

\

```
For Text:<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Text Abbreviation</title></head><body><p> <abbr title="MindStick"> Best Company of India </abbr></p></body></html>
```

\

```
For Image:<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Text Abbreviation</title></head><body><p> <abbr title="MindStick"><img src="prinav.jpg" alt="Abhishek.com" width="104"height="142">  </abbr></p></body></html>
```
