Question

I’ve been working on this for way too long. I’m trying to put HTML inside the title attribute of a tag. This is for a tooltip. Of course, if this is going to be possible, then I have to escape all of the necessary characters so it doesn’t screw up the tag in which it is contained. To be specific, how can I fit the following inside the title attribute of a tag:

<a href="test">test</a>

That is, I want this:

<div title="<a href="test">test</a>">my div</div>

I feel like I’ve tried everything. Is this even possible?

I googled HTML Escape Characters and found a tool to do it: http://accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/developer-tools/quick-escape/default.php
It produced this string which you can use:

<a href="test">test</a>
