[Javascript] Show full text in pop up window

[Mike Dougherty]

what do you think about using the "title" attribute to accomplish what is basically a label?

<td>
   <span title="Work Smarter: Use built-in functionality">Work Smart...</span>
</td>

though you could put the title attribute on the <td> tag itself, I would recommend using the 
<span> as a container for the sake of separating the structure of the table from the display of a 
label.  (and I think it's more acceptable practice to put an ID in a <span> than on a <td> in the 
case you wanted to access a property through javascript)
