When I use it, it comes out as one long line and gets cut off if it reaches the edge of the DIV it's in. Any ideas what I can do?

My understanding is that a title tag is good for around 60 characters which should be long enough for most things. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to yogaboy)

I've seen it done elsewhere, entire paragraphs with carriage returns - the whole caboodle! (in reply to Tailslide)

If that's so have a look at Stu Nicholl's tutorial here It will give a lead on using the title tag in the way that you want to. _____________________________ I remember when it took less than 4hrs to fly across the Atlantic.

I've seen it done elsewhere, entire paragraphs with carriage returns - the whole caboodle! Firefox/Moz to my knowledge will only do titles in a straight line (I stand to be corrected on that!). You can set up a <span> so that it looks like a tool tip i.e. it's hidden normally until you hover the link and the span will be visible then and styled like a tooltip - below the link, in a yellow box or whatever. Here's the link: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=4E2C0&print=true Or you can do a similar thing with a JS script by Brothercake which will show titles on focus rather than just on hover etc (got this on my site) so you can see the title tag when tabbing - and this is also styleable. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to yogaboy)
