there seems to currently be no way to display a line break inside a title
attribute. this is useful when wanting to display multi-line details for an
image or hyperlink.

example html:
<a href="myfile.doc" title="Type: Microsoft Word Document &#10;Date Modified:
02/27/04 3:21pm &#10;Size: 97KB">myfile.doc</a>

in IE this the resulting tooltip looks like this:
-------------------------------
Type: Microsoft Word Document
Date Modified: 02/27/04 3:21pm
Size: 97KB
-------------------------------

firefox renders it like this:
-------------------------------
Type: Microsoft Word Document |Date Modified: 02/27/04 3:21pm |Size: 97KB
-------------------------------

in IE, using &#10; and actual source line break work and result in a tooltip
line break. (try this: <a href="test.htm" title="'&amp;#10' line break&#10;
'&lt;br&gt;' line break<br> 'actual source' line break
end">test.htm</a>)

i think FF should support the &#10; method as it is the most likely behaviour
expected by webdesigners having this string in their title attribute and thus
wouldn't break anything.
