<a href="A <b>ball</b> is something that you 
bounce.">ball</a>

have your roll-over handler or your mouseClick handler put this href= 
anchor into an off screen field using set the HTMLText of fld 
"offScreenField" to myAnchorVar
then put that field's text into variableX and have your roll-over 
handler or your mouseClick handler display it using set the HTMLText of 
field "Definition" to variableX.

Good luck, this is an untested idea that I use for embedding attributes 
in unorthodox tag sets & that work for me.
