Hi Neil,

You said "depending on the toolbar".  In my mind, I was only thinking 
about the Navigation Toolbar.  So what other toolbars or type of 
toolbars do we have?

When I was typing my previous question, I was actually thinking about a 
button like the "Home" button in FF (ver. 20 as of today) -- it is a 
button, containing an image (icon), no text, but when we move the mouse 
on it, a tool-tip text is displayed.
