How can I use a carriage return in a HTML tooltip?
I'd like to know if it's possible to force a newline to show in the tooltip when using title property of a TD. something like
<td title="lineone \n linetwo \n etc...">
Can this be done?
This should now work with Internet Explorer, Firefox v12+ and Chrome 28+
<img src="'../images/foo.gif'"
alt="line 1
line 2" title="line 1
line 2">
Try a JavaScript tooltip library for a better result, something like OverLib.
This should be OK, but is Internet Explorer specific:
<td title="lineone
linetwo
etc...">
As others have mentioned, the only other way is to use an HTML + JavaScript based tooltip if you're only interested in the tooltip. If this is for accessibility then you will probably need to stick to just single lines for consistency.
If you're looking to put line breaks into the tooltip that appears on mouseover, there's no reliable crossbrowser way to do that. You'd have to fall back to one of the many Javascript tooltip code samples
The jquery colortip plugin also supports <br>
tags in the title attribute, you might want to look into that one.
