Formatting title bubbles in HTML

OK, you know when you point at something on a web page, and it shows a little bubble with information in it.

I know you can do that by:
<a title="some information comes up">When you point here</a>, but that displays the information in one big lump.

I want to put it into paragraphs, how can you make it do a new line?

I'm not sure that you can with HTML. Unless there is an ascii character for hard-return that might work? It might be a javascript thing.

Hopefully a Web Guru will be along in a minute to tell you that I'm wrong Smile.

Javascript it is. This may be of use http://trentrichardson.com/examples/csstooltips/

edit: That's a CSS only implementation which maybe preferable

If it's an image the ALT tag will make the text box appear in most browsers, otherwise use javascript as posted previously...

Thank you. That seems to work. Well enough for now at least.
