Formating 'title' in a link

[chuck]

Can you? All I can seem to do is get
a single line of about 80 chars. Putting a
backslash N, a ltBRgt, a return in it does
nothing. What I would like is:

--------------------------
The quick brown fox
jumped over the lazy dogs
back.
----------------------------

and not:
--------------------------------------------------
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs back.
--------------------------------------------------

And maybe < font color=brown > brown fox < /font....

Or do I have to do "onmouseover ... JS .. winpopup
with text - but then the user would have to "close"
and there wouldn't be the nice 2/5 second delay for
popup/go away.

Thanks

You cant do these. While some browsers "sort of" support line breaks in
tooltips (title and alt elements), it doesn't work well. Some browsers
will display rubbish or nothing at all if you try.

And maybe < font color=brown > brown fox < /font....

Definately cant do that.

Have a look at 'fancy title' which extends titles. It's a JavaScript add-on
though. You can get it at the bottom of the following page:

Just ignore the stuff apart from fancytitle.css and fancytitle.js.

Which is probably more than a user wants to read. Keep title attributes
short, and never rely on them - use them just as extra advisory titles,
like a bit expanded form of a link text:

<a href="http://www.w3.org" title=
"World Wide Web Consortium (main page)">W3C</a>

Can you?

No, but you can emulate it. Drop the title, do something like
<div class=holder><img src="..."><span>A very <em>black</em>
rabbit.</span></div>

..holder span {display: none;}
..holder:hover span {display: inline; position: absolute; top: 10px;
left:10px;}

And a bit of a cold shower -- untested, doesn't work in IE.

No, because I just replaced the site with an interim one.

Check back in late December and you'll find me!

There is no "s back."

It's just:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

It's just:
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

or:
"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs."

yes, it's an and/or. I actually meant to say "jumped", but it was a
typo. There's a couple of variations, but there's no extra words.

Gawd, I loathe this thing. Besides the accessibility problems, the
moving pop-up is disorienting and distracting.

The blasted thing should be banished from the web.
