<alt=> in paging possible?

Is there a way of using the ALT outside the IMG? I was wondering if it's possible of using an ALT on paging # to show which page is at what record.

This is what I have though it doesn't work:

Code:

if rspage>2 then

           for i=1 to rspage
'IF REQUEST.QUERYSTRING("PAGE") = i THEN
'Response.Write("<b>" & i & "</b>")
pagingurl = "<a href=""" & Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") & "?page=" &i& "&Keyword="& Keyword &"&Keywordb="& Keywordb &"&Keywordc="& Keywordc

if spoke<> "" then pagingurl = pagingurl & "&spoke=" & spoke


If   request.QueryString("book_spoke")="Book_Spoke" then pagingurl = pagingurl & "&book_spoke=Book_Spoke"

If   request.QueryString("chapter_spoke")="Chapter_Spoke" then pagingurl = pagingurl & "&chapter_spoke=Chapter_Spoke"

If   request.QueryString("verse_spoke")="Verse_Spoke" then pagingurl = pagingurl & "&verse_spoke=Verse_Spoke"
If Trim(Request.QueryString("recordType")) <> "" then 
  aRecTypes = Split(Request.QueryString("recordType"), ",")
'  If IsArray(aRecTypes) Then 
'pagingurl = pagingurl & 
    For iLoopCount = 0 To UBound(aRecTypes)
     pagingurl = pagingurl & "&recordType=" & trim(aRecTypes(iLoopCount))
    Next
  End If
  SQL = SQL & ")"

pagingurl = pagingurl & "&text_data=yes" & "&optAction=on""><ALT=" & RS("book_title") & ">"&i&"</a>"

response.write pagingurl

title will sometimes work to pop up a tool tip but it should be inside the tag eg...

Code:

<a href="somelink" title="this links somwhere">somwhere</a>

That worked but I was wondering if it's possible to use it in paging. WHen I have a hundred records with 10 records per page it would be nice to know the position in the title tag.

But what I see now is the "book_title" of the first record all throughout the page numbers even though it varies.

just dynamically build the title...

Code:

<a href="somelink" title="this links to page <%=i%>">somwhere</a>

but what function in asp determines which record to start with on each page?
