Add title inside link tag to make tooltip

[casperrr]

Hi. I'm beginner to Javascript so my question maybe would sound dumb to you.

Anyway, I'm editing a script for my blog and a line goes like this:

document.write('<a href="' + alturl + '">' + entry.author[0].name.$t + '</a>' + ':' + ' ');

What I want is add the title="' + posttitle +'" inside the link tag to make the title of the post a tooltip. However, adding that one messes things up and the whole thing won't appear on the page anymore.

Hi casperrr welcome to TSDN,

try this:

document.write('<a href=\'' + alturl + '\' title=\''+ posttitle +'\'>' + entry.author[0].name.$t + '</a>' + ':' + ' ');
 

Please next time use code tags....[ code=javascript][ /code] (without the spaces).

good luck

Thanks. The code now works. However, the tooltip would show the link tag for the postitle. That is, for example,

[HTML]<a href="http://MYBLOG.blogspot.com/2007/07/post-title.html">post title</a>[/HTML]

Other instances of "posttitle" in the script would show the real title unlike this one. I'm using Blogger by the way if that helps.

The script containing that is here.

The blog is here. The function is applied on the widget named "recent comments" below the page. If you can see, mouseover the links there and the tooltip will show the a tag for the title.

If you understand German, spare the posts. I just translated them from somewhere to act as trial posts. Hehe.

Really big thanks.
