Hi Folks, love these forums.

I am dynamically creating HTML and wish to use a "Flyover" or "Mouseover" feature when the user crosses over a given field.

I seem to have problems when the length of the title exceeds a certain threshhold.

Is there a limit for the length of the TITLE in the TD definition? Is there an alternative methodology for using the pop-up help for users?

Here is an exerpt of my HTML...


<TD Title = "FICO Score from month_10

Min = 1
Max = 997
Avg = 736.79
" ALIGN=CENTER><font face="Arial, Helvetica, Helv" size="3" color="#FFFF00"><b>AMFICO10</b></font></TD>

Please note that I use hard returns and linefeeds in the code - "0D0A"X

This is not the specific example that fails, it appears as though something is messing up the browser, but I am not sure what it is - however, when I default the length of the title to about 150 bytes, it seems fine, but I lose information.

Thanks in advance

There's no limit for title attributes per the specifications but most browsers will cut it off eventually.
