TITLE Attribute | title Property


Sets or retrieves advisory information (a ToolTip) for the object.

Syntax

HTML<ELEMENT TITLE = sTitle ... >
Scriptingobject.title [ = sTitle ]

Possible Values

sTitleString that specifies the advisory text.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see dynamic propertiesInternet Link.

Remarks

Internet Explorer renders the title as a ToolTip when the user hovers the mouse over the object.

Windows CE

In Microsoft® Windows® CE, ToolTips do not appear when a user hovers the mouse pointer over objects.

Example

This example uses the title property to display advisory text when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the text.

Sample Code

<SCRIPT>
function boldAdvise(src) {
    src.title="this is bold text";
    return;
    }
</SCRIPT>
:
<SPAN onmouseover="boldAdvise(this)">bold section</SPAN>
