The 'title box' is part of the browser and not standard. You can't style
it per se. But you can make your own title box, something like this:

a { position: relative }
.popup
{
position: absolute;
top: 1em;
left: 1em;
background-color: palegreen;
color: red;
visibility: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
border: 1px solid green;
}
a:hover .popup { visibility: visible }

...

<a href="#">Homepage<span class="popup">Go to the homepage</span></a>

May not work in IE.
