The title in the link tag <a>

[vw98034]

I try to find out the specification of the title attribute, such as any length limitation. The document at the W3C site (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/global.html#edef-TITLE) doesn't say much about it. I have an experience of a truncated title for a unknown reason.

Does anyone know the information or how to find out the information?


Thanks.

My guess is that this is either UA (user-agent) dependent and the browser developers get to decide how long your tooltips can be or it is OS dependent and your system truncates the tooltip when it exceeds a certain length; this would mean that the information you seek wouldn't be in the specification.

If you want something longer, you can use something like JavaScript to create a div-based (HTML-based) tooltip that you can customize to your needs.
