seanbo,

Although I can't seem to do the job using HTML only, using JavaScript I cna get it working in IE only:

Code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY onLoad=&quot;document.getElementById('myLink').title = ' Line 1 \n Line 2 ';&quot;>
<A ID=&quot;myLink&quot; HREF=&quot;&quot;>abc</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hope this helps!

Dan

I just tested your link in IE6 and Netscape 7.1 and breaks show up

mr bond's solution seems to work fine, i think i'll stick with that one (as long as it works in safari, anybody know?).

none of those backslash suggestons seem to work, and i don't think overlib has the right feel - but thanks to everyone.

But does it allow you to do what you're looking to accomplish??

...it does indeed - probably even tidier than the one triggered by title - - but i don't like to make things look different unless there's a bloody good reason (it detracts from the functionality of the page).

javadude, \r \n \0 \a and the like are programing language escape codes, the only reason they exsist is because there wasn't a good way to put them in a string in a programing language without multi-line literals... In HTML the options are tags or amp-code-semi combinations like &quot;&lt;&quot; I think that you can code a return or line break in this fashon, and that might be the solution you need.... but newline/feedline or return aren't listed in the codes... hmmmmmmmm....
