New line in title attribute?

Question

Possible Duplicate:
How can I use a carriage return in a HTML tooltip?

Currently if I want to insert a new line in title=, I would do this:

<span id="dummy" title="Hello
World!">Dummy</span>

Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/DerekL/XFMfx/

But this looks really weird to me, and it just messes up my HTML file. Just imagine all those new lines in it.
So I'm wondering if there is a better way to achieve this, so that it won't mess it up.

Thanks.

This is not possible. There are no cross-browser solutions. If you want a line break in your title attribute, you'll have to use JavaScript.

@jaychapani: I'm aware of that question, and like I've stated, there are no cross-browser solutions to this. – animuson Sep 06 '12 at 16:49

As of Firefox 12 (which is the current Aurora version), this is (finally) supported. See the related bug.
