Isn’t the little bubble that pops up on the hover called a ‘tooltip’? Which is sourcing the title attribute to use as the text inside?
I really don’t care about messing with the theme and as I said before I’m not using any aspect of the theme to design/manage the site anymore.., I was hoping somebody could tell me where in the actual code this function was being generated… Even though it’s an issue I’ve heard is being caused by wordpress. You’ll notice there are no “title attributes” occurring on links I’ve hand coded… but will check with diy
