Something like this: <code>a.broken_link:after { content: url(/path/to/image); }</code> Changing the tooltip would probably require some scripting, or else more processing on the server. Hmm...

The alt text when you hover over the link would show text along the lines of "Site linked to no longer available or has moved.". So, it would look like this: This is a <a href="http://deadlink">dead link[o/o]</a>. Where [o/o] is a broken chain link image. The image would be tiny and inline sized of course.
