Can title= property be used in heading ?

[Desser]

I have read somewhere that it is possible to use the title= property to
display a tooltip line when the curser is over a heading line. Like the Alt
tag do. I can do it with a picture and a href link. But can it also be done
with the heading line seen here: How do I do it?

title="Google tips."

<h1>This is a heading</h1>

Okay, you pretty clearly lack even the most basic understanding of html.
There are many free introductory tutorials on the web. Take one.

TITLE is an attribute. It is a valid attribute with all but a handful of
elements. With many elements it is not at all clear what TITLE should mean,
and nowhere is it said what browsers should do with it. It is up to
browsers to decide what, if anything, to do with the TITLE attribute. Some
browsers will use the TITLE attribute of some elements as tooltip text.
There are several other things that browsers could do with it, including
ignoring it entirely. The TITLE attribute is set exactly the same way
as any other attribute.

title="Google tips."

<h1>This is a heading</h1>

This is what reveals that you don't know what an attribute is, or what to do
with one.

<h1 title="Google tips.">This is a heading</h1>

Maybe your browser will display the title in a tooltip. Maybe it will
display the title text in a status line. Maybe it will do nothing at all
with it. Information vital to understanding your document should not be
placed in a TITLE attribute because there is no assurance that browsers will
do anything at all with it.

Moreover, it is not at all clear what the title of heading might mean.

If your browser supports it.

Like the Alt tag do.

Like the Alt attribute (not tag) does in MSIE but shouldn't.
That's not what the alt attribute is for.

can it also be done with the heading line seen here: How do I do it?

title="Google tips."

<h1>This is a heading</h1>

<h1 title="Google tips.">This is a heading</h1>

If your browser supports it.

For what it's worth, both GUI browsers available to me display
tooltips for <h1 title="...">... These two are Opera 9.5 and Firefox.

It doesn't seem very useful though -- you cannot /do/ anything to a
tooltip but read it, and you never know if one will pop up if you wait
long enough.

Like the Alt attribute (not tag) does in MSIE but shouldn't.
That's not what the alt attribute is for.

Like the Alt attribute does in MSIE /for inline images/ (and maybe
some other things; too lazy to check the DTD). It's not even valid
for things like <h1>.
