No, CSS currently has no such property (it's use with a few exceptions 
is formatting not structural), depending on your need and what 
browsers 
need supported you may be able to do something with the content: 
property, but be aware that it isn’t supported by IE only NS 6 + & OP 
4 
+ you can find the usage at the above reference URL 

It is also possible to use the :hover property to accomplish this.  
Take a look at the code at this site 
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo.html and modify it 
to suit your needs HOWEVER be aware that IE is not going to 
support :hover on any 
element except “a”
