SEVERAL LINES IS TITLE PROPERTY OF CELL

R

RootShell

I HAVE the following HTML code...

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td title = "LINE1 \n LINE2" background="cinzento.png">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

How can i make it display in the yellow box that appears when my mouse is
over the table, so that i get this:

********
* LINE1 *
* LINE2 *
********

Instead of what i get now:

****************
* LINE1 \n LINE2 *
****************

Please help im desperate, i tryed the \r\n combination, only the \r and only
the \n no help.

Thanks

No, the OP wants to affect the title attribute of a cell, which I don't
think can be accurately done since each browser will render it
differently...

Yes, it's very system-dependent. As the specs say: "Values of the title
attribute may be rendered by user agents in a variety of ways." In reality,
tooltips are the way to do it, but it can't be depended upon, especially not
for critical context.
There's a workaraound using :hover which doesn't work in IE: google for css
tooltips.

The most reliable way is probably:

title="LINE 1
LINE 2"

but that will only work occasionally. In general, browsers will wrap title
tooltips if/when they want to.
