Can I add a line break in a title, as called for below, after "HERE?"

Thanks. - Jim

No you cannot.

If you want formatting, you will need to use a tool tip of some sort. qTip is a nice relatively simple tool that I have used for this sort of thing.

Hi there jimRedfield,

yes you certainly can.

Try it like this...

[color=navy]title="I want a line break HERE[color=red][size=4]&&#35;13;[/size][/color]THIS should be on the lower line."[/color]

The code has been tested in IE9, Firefox 13, Opera 11.62 and Safari 5.1.7.

napOleon - No harm, no foul re the wrong answer. ...I, of course, never make mistakes like that. :-)

coothead - Thanks for the code - works like a charm.

Do either of you know if additional formatting can be done to title tags? Things like a better spec for the box background color, corners, lines, etc.?

Again, help appreciated. No need to respond if there's nothing to add. - Jim

To the best of my knowledge, no.

As our friend nap0leon suggested, CSS tooltips would be the method to use.

Thanks again, again. Just what I needed to be pointed at. - Jim

Wow - wonder when support for this started... It was a few years ago when I tried to do this and instead went with qTip.

Tested this in IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox (latest versions 2012-11-27):
& #13; (Without space between & and #)

Works in all of them...

Interesting. Wonder if you can break down &#13; or explain what it stands for? Looks like a special character &____; code inside another ?

coothead

Hi there auntnini,

when I made that post on the 18th June the code was...[indent] [noparse]&#13[/noparse][/indent]
...which is what MortenManden also suggested today.

Since my post, the forums have gone through an upgrade and I can only assume that is the cause of #13;:eek:

It is not working with me in Firefox 16 and Chrome 23. Any clue?

coothead

Hi there adamdani,

and a warm to these forums.

...It is not working with me...

Please read post #11 for an explanation as to why.

title="I want a line break HERE
THIS should be on the lower line."

But, this is the happen

I'm sorry I can't edit the above reply that looks like different with I mean

the code I have used is like this:

title="I want a line break HERETHIS should be on the lower line."

I would go about it differently:
<h1>THIS IS THE FIRST LINE<br />
THIS IS THE SECOND LINE</h1>
A great place to learn is www.w3schools.com

Hi there adamdani,

It works with IE9, Firefox 17.0.1, Safari 5.1.7 and Opera 12.11 using Windows 7.

Don't know if it works with Chrome, as I will not have anything "Google" on my pc.

Give us a link to a page where you have tried the code, so that we can test your assertion.

Just giving us an image is pointless.

Hi there Grandpa "D",

this thread concerns the placement of a line-break in the text of the title attribute.

It is really not about the placement of a line-break in the text of an element.

Also note that, many consider that w3schools.com is a poor place to learn.
