A:
The simplest way to get tooltips in most browsers is to set some text in the title attribute.
eg.
<img src="myimage.jpg" alt="a cat" title="My cat sat on a table" />
produces (hover your mouse over the image):
Title attributes can be applied to most HTML elements.

@nectar: you cannot insert line breaks using this method - you have to leave it to the browser to insert line breaks where it thinks most appropriate.

The title attribute works on most HTML tags and is widely supported by modern browsers.

ALT's main importance is for accessibility to people with vision impairments.

@nectar: yes it works there too but you should be worried about browsers being used now by the masses.

@nectar: That's how it will display, you can not control that or split it otherwise you will have to use some other fancy tooltip that you can search on google.
