I'm currently adding verbose tooltips to our site, and I'd like (without having to resort to a whizz-bang jQuery plugin, I know there are many!) to use carriage returns to format the tooltip.
To add the tip I'm using the title
attribute. I've looked around the usual sites and using the basic template of:
<a title='Tool?Tip?On?New?Line'>link with tip</a>
I've tried replacing the ?
with:
<br />
&013; /
\r\n
Environment.NewLine
(I'm using C#)None of the above works. Is it possible?
Just use the entity code 
 for a linebreak in a title attribute.
Solution 1 Yes - ToolTips obey "\r\n" characters and start on a new line. myObject. ToolTip = "Line 1\r\nLine 2\r\nLine 3"; will work fine.
You can use 
 or 
 .
The <br> HTML element produces a line break in text (carriage-return). It is useful for writing a poem or an address, where the division of lines is significant.
The latest specification allows line feed character, so a simple line break inside the attribute or entity
(note that characters #
and ;
are required) are OK.
It’s so simple you’ll kick yourself: just press Enter!
<a href="#" title='Tool Tip On New Line'>link with tip</a>
