multiple lines in title

MJB3K · Mar 6, 2005

Hi, i was wondering how you get multiple lines in the title tag of a <td> or <img>??

<td title="Price: £35">

I dont know how to put stuff under it in this format:

Price £35
From: username
Date: date
.... etc

Is this possible?

Regards,

Martin

I'm not sure about using plain HTML, or making a cross-browser solution... But in IE, it is certainly possible to do it with JavaScript:

Code:

<html>
<body onload="document.getElementById('myspan').title = 'abc\ndef';">
	<span id="myspan">abc</title>
</body>
</html>

Your best bet might be to use JavaScript and write a DHTML solution... or to check out

- as I'm sure they already have plenty of cross-browser ones already available.

Hope this helps,
Dan

If you like easy customizable JavaScript tooltips with the support for multiple lines et al:

If you are looking for plain tooltips with title, like Dan said, IE supports those, other browsers don't. If IE support is enough for you, you should do it easier though (without JS):

Code:

<td title="Price £35
From: username
Date: date">
