Hello peeps,

Does anyone know how to affect the size of the TITLE attribute of HREFs? 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?

Iain

Could you give us an example URL as this isn't a problem I've come up against before. My understanding is that a title tag is good for around 60 characters which should be long enough for most things.

Sorry, no can do, as it's on my development server and won't go live for a couple of weeks.

I've seen it done elsewhere, entire paragraphs with carriage returns - the whole caboodle!:)

You have probably seen this done with CSS and with an image map? 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.

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.

Thanks Tailslide, that is exactly what I was looking for - a non javascript answer to my tooltip problem!
