The COMMENT tag is working well. But the COMMENT is displayed next to
the hostname. I want the DESCR to be displayed in a tooltip box. I've
searched and found a little java script which generates a tooltip box.
It uses the onMouseOver event.

<script type="text/javascript" src="wz_tooltip.js"></script>

<a href="index.htm" onmouseover="Tip('Some Text')">Startpage</a>

My problem is how to read the DESCR out of the bb-hosts file and then
integrate this in the html code.
