Firefox doesn’t display Title Tooltips very well. If they are too long, it just truncates them:

Display of Tooltips (href title attribute) under Firefox

Camino does a much better job:

So does Safari:

Display of Tooltips (href title attribute) under Safari

However, using the Popup ALT Attributes extension, you can get something a little better:

Display of Tooltips (href title attribute) under Firefox, with extension installed.

I’ll have a fiddle with the source code, and see if I can get it to break on commas, like the other X browsers do.

Opera has a slightly different view of what should be happening. At least they are multi-line, but all of the commas have been removed! And the tooltip is rather wide, on my screen:

Internet Explorer (Windows) displays them as:

Display of Tooltips (href title attribute) under Internet Explorer (Windows)

Out of all of these, I like the way Safari and Camino display tooltips, especially in this case, where the list items are in fact seperate posts, and should be displayed on a seperate line.

I just noticed I’ve written 999 posts on the Blogsome Forums:

Whoa, that’s a lot of helping! (And a little bit of telling off, too!) And in less than one year!
