tooltip

Hi,

I'm currently adding verbose tooltips to our site, and I'd like (without having to resort to a whizz-bang jQuery plugin, I klnow 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#)

Neither work. Is it possible ??

WOW! Thanks all - 6 different answers in less than an hour. Thanks indeed!!

Tooltips with infinite timeout?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I'm thinking of setting the timeout on all my tooltips in a WinForms application to infinity (or an extremely large value).
