| Firefox truncating text in "title" attribute
Is there a way to stop Firefox from trimming my titles? |

I'm making a site that has a large map.gif image with labels of geographical features on the map. My intention is that when someone mouses over one of the labels on the map, a title will appear giving brief information about that location. Eg:
<area shape="rect" coords="178,12,252,27" alt="Farewell Spit: Largest natural sand bar in the world and loads of migrant birds coming from as far north as Siberia. " title="Farewell Spit: Largest natural sand bar in the world and loads of migrant birds coming from as far north as Siberia. ">
Although Internet Explorer 6.0 displays the titles perfectly, Firefox 1.0 truncates them after roughly 60 characters. In the above example, it displays the title as: "Farewell Spit: Largest natural sand bar in the world and loads of migrant birds coming f..." - obviously "f..." is not an ideal truncation! Is there a way to stop Firefox doing this? As far as I can see at W3C.org there is no official limit to the size of a title.

This is a known bug in Firefox and Mozilla, over four years old. I wouldn't hold my breath on a fix. There is a less-than-simple workaround you can use on your own Firefox installation, but that won't help you as a website author.
