JavaScript inside an <img title="<a href='#' onClick='alert('Hello World!')>The Link</a>" /> possible?

Question

<img title="<a href='#' onClick='alert('Hello World!')>The Link</a>" /> 

So I've got some specific question.. I already know that I can work with attributes inside a TITLE attribute.. But can I work with events inside a TITLE attribute?

(btw - It seems like a rubbish code, but this already works as is should on my web project - I just need a way to use some Javascript on this sheathed link.)

I USE Jquery framework.

No, this is, as you say "rubbish code". If it works as should, it is because browsers try to "read the writer's mind" - in other words, they have algorithms to try to make sense of "rubbish code", guess at the probable intent and internally change it into something that actually makes sense.

In other words, your code only works by accident, and probably not in all browsers.

Is this what you're trying to do?

<a href="#" onClick="alert('Hello World!')"><img title="The Link" /></a>
