ID

The underscore character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position.

SPAN

STYLE

TITLE

The TITLE attribute is for advisory information (unless used with a mailto: attribute). The Title attribute should provide the title of the document whose address is given by the HREF attribute. The contents of the title attribute will be displayed in a tooltip during the mouse moves on the link. Internet Explorer 4.0 (and above) is the only browser to implement this.
