Carriage Returns in Title Attributes

Since I’m always forgetting how to add carriage returns in my title attributes, I’d thought I’d add it here.

The original HTML looked like the following:
Original HTML Code
which produced the following mouseover toolip.
Original Mouseover Tooltip with NO Carriage Returns

So, to add carriage returns (line feeds) to your tooltips, you just need to add the 
 entity. Now the code would be:
New HTML Code
… and the new tooltip would look like:
With Carriage Returns

Note: Please make sure to test across all platforms; I’m not sure if it works on every browser — and right now, I’m too pooped to test.

Update: This tip doesn’t seem to work in FF3.6.3 on Mac. However, I used this tip on an intranet site where IE is only supported.

Right-Clicking in Parallels on Mac OS X

Since I am always forgetting how to right click in Windows XP on my Parallels VM, I decided to keep it in my blog.

To right click, use the following keystroke combination:

Ctrl-Shift-Click

Also, if you are in Full Screen mode and cannot exit, you can try the following:

Alt-Command-Enter (Return)

Hope that helps someone else out there.

Note: I am using Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac.
