Netscape does not wrap long tooltips

[Michael Bednarek]

Hello,

The Japanese version of my web application contains some long text
inside TITLE attributes. On IE, this text is wrapped so that it
appears on multiple lines. In Netscape (7.1), the text is simply
truncated at a certain point. Is there any way to force Netscape to
show the entire tooltip?

Many thanks,

Michael Bednarek

Displaying tooltips to your liking would include DHTML workarounds. Why
bother? Instead, I suggest making the text as short as possible.

No, I don't think so, HTML 4 only has the title attribute, it is up to
the user agent how to display that.
Maybe a tooltip done with DHTML/scripting can help.

Not yet, but this very annoying bug has been noted, so will be fixed
in a future version:
