Changing the time for the html span title tag

[Nagraj Kini]

Hello all,
Is there a way I can change the time for which the tool tip is
displayed. For eg. <span title="I am visisble for 5 seconds"> How long
is the tool tip visible </span>

When the mouse is over the text is visible for 4 to 5 seconds. Is
there a way make it last longer? Say 10 seconds.

Thanks in Advance,
Snakess.

No, there isn't, unless you are programming the tooltip feature
for yourself, showing and hiding a layer on mouse actions.

For eg. <span title="I am visisble for 5 seconds"> How long
is the tool tip visible </span>

When the mouse is over the text is visible for 4 to 5 seconds. Is
there a way make it last longer? Say 10 seconds.

`title' does not mean `tooltip'. As the HTML 4.01 Specification states, that
attribute is only a way that you can attach additional information to an
element, and some user agents display this information as a tooltip. Some do
not and some cannot (text user agents, Braille lines aso.). So you should
not rely on it, unless you are developing for an Intranet solution where you
can guarantee that a specific user agent is used.

For local presentation on 32 bit Windows systems, you may use TweakUI from
Microsoft PowerToys to adjust the timeout value (for the whole GUI).
