alt text in links

I have a small problem, maybe even trivial.<br />
<br />
How can I use the ALT= option in a <A> tag, when I don't want to use an image?<br />
<br />
So, how can I make something like the following to display the ALT text:<br />

To elaborate on Daves answer ALT in fact is NEVER supposed to show a popup, even when you use it on an image.<br />
The apropriate "popup" attribute is ALWAYS title, even for images.<br />
<br />
ALT is only supposed to show INSTEAD of the image (eg if it's not loaded), not in conjunctiopn with the image.<!--content-->
