It can be as long as you want it to be.

I think he wants to know how..

This would be short:

title="Short One"

This would be long:

title="A rather long title that can be even longer if want it to be longer"

i see,but for some reason it cut the text string

ok thank you all for your time and the great script,i forgot that the string in the db can contain double quotes,thats the reason.


thanks again.

Ugh, can it contain single quotes or an apostrophe, basically this character:

'

If not, you could delimit with that:

title='Some title'

Otherwise, you would need to escape whatever you use as a delimiter. The most convenient way of doing this that I can think of would be on the server side, like converting all " to \" before passing the value for title off to the page.

your solution is not right because the problem was that in the html code the text string was with " so it looked like:
title="text"dsfkjkljlsf"hsdfjkhdsfw'"

and as result it showed only text.
to solve this i made the string to output the spiceal chars as codes like: > and stuff like this so that the html parser wont be confused with the original quotes

[jscheuer1]

Ooops, I confused a javascript string with an HTML one. I'm just glad you found a way that works for you.
