if (document.all) {
	var linkmessage=""
	var originaltitle=document.title
	var start=1
	var timer=true
}

function showmessage(thismessage) {
	if (document.all) {
		timer=true
		start=1
  		linkmessage=thismessage
  		scrolltitle()
  	}
}

function hidemessage() {
	if (document.all) {
		timer=false
  		document.title=originaltitle
	}
}

function scrolltitle() {
	if (timer) {
		var mes=linkmessage.substring(start, linkmessage.length-1) + linkmessage.substring(0, start)
		document.title=mes
		start++
  		if (start==linkmessage.length-1) {start=0}
  		timer=setTimeout("scrolltitle()",120)
	}
}
</script>

Step 2: Open your web page. Put the red code below into your text links and edit the message for the link (red and bold). Each text link can have a text of its own:
<a href="http://www.anyurl.com" onMouseOver="showmessage('Put the message for this link between these brackets')" onMouseOut="hidemessage()">silly link</a>
