I'd like to know if there is a way to not the the <br /> show up when the pointer is held over a thumbnail image. Below is the code that displays the thumbnails. The <br /> is in the title so the info1 and info2 fields show up on separate lines in the Lightbox display.
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" rel="lightbox[<?php echo $incidents_newsRecord['num'] ?>]" title="Photo By: <?php echo $upload['info1'] ?><br /> Description: <?php echo $upload['info2'] ?>">
<img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>" width="100" height="75" alt="" /></a>
Any ideas? I'm sure there must be a way to concatenate the title string so it does not show up, but maybe there isn't either.
Thanks.

Hi, Pcolvin -
Unfortunately there is no simple answer. Text formatting within ALT and TITLE atributes is not supported across all browsers. Under normal circumstances there are only two options:
1) Use "hard returns" in your code...
[font "Verdana"]
[font "Verdana"]...which may be rendered correctly across some browsers.
2) Use DHTML (or even Flash) to create "pop-up/tool-tip" boxes.
I'm not sure if either of these sollutuions is suitable for Lightbox but it's certainly the way to go for normally HTML.

And the best way to experiment and find the answer is in a plain .html file. If you can get a simple html file displaying like you need it's much easier to replicate that with the CMS after.

Dave and Perchpole,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll do some testing and find something that works.
