<a title=...> 1

[forrozeiro]

Hi,

Using the code <a title='description'>desc</a>, I get a square with the text 'description' whenever I put the mouse pointer over 'desc'. Is there a way I can insert line breaks or tabs into the text that is poped up to the user ? Something like:

<!-- this doesn't work -->
<a title='description\nbla\tbla'>desc</a>

And the result being:

description
bla bla

Thank you in advance.

<a title=&quot;Hi!

Welcome to my site! I hope you enjoy being here.

Unfortunately, this is IE-only solution.
Insert & # 1 0; (without spaces) where you want to break the line.

<a href=&quot;#&quot; title=&quot;search criteria:& # 1 0; word & # 1 0; phrase&quot;>smth</a>

It's upon to you to deside wherether to use it or not, just rememeber: Opera 5+ shows extra whitespace instead of it, Netscape 4.x doesn't recognize &quot;title&quot; at all, and Netscape 6 shows ? instead of it.

Yes... you could use the &amp;#10; solution. But, it's so much easier just to use the normal ENTER (and it has exactly the same effect).

I'm interested how do you plan to do this while writing html code.

I use this on my website, it ties in with CSS mouseover white box's that highlight text on a link and provides addition info, with the title=&quot;free beer&quot; etc.

Thank you guys for your help!
I'll use the & # 1 0 ; solution. I´ve tested it and it worked fine. I cannot simply use the enter from keyboard ( as some of you suggested) because the application I am working on uses internationalization. All the text that appears to the user come from a resource bundle file (a .properties file, that uses the linebreak as a separator), it's not inserted directly on the HTML code (I am using JSP).
Thank you again and sorry for my English.
