html mouseover hyperlink

What is that peice of the HTML code that allows me to provide comments to links before the user is actually clicking on them? Do you know what I mean?

I mean, on my web page I have some hyperlinks, and I want to know some information about it - what I will be taken to if I click on this link - so I just roll over my mouse on that link and a certain kind of caption appears providing me with all necessary info about this link.

I know how to make hyperlinks in HTML, but I have no idea how to make these self-popping -up captions. Can anyone, here , please share with me how to do that? Which tags do I need to use for that?

A simple example would be highly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance!
