asp.net - jQuery stop tooltip plugin displaying html -

i tooltip stop displaying rendered html , mark instead. noticed displaying data in i.e. repeater following works fine. using jquery tooltip plugin 1.3.

server.htmlencode(eval("activitydescription") string) 

and thought same title attribute

<td class="activitydescriptiontooltip" title="<%# server.htmlencode(eval("activitydescription") string) %>"> <%# utilities.truncateatword(server.htmlencode(eval("activitydescription") string),30) %> </td> 

tooltip called via plugin

   $j('.activitydescriptiontooltip').tooltip(); 

so if acticvitydescription "<h2>test</h2>"

i want see "<h2>test</h2>" in tooltip. title attribute renders as

title="<h2>test</h2>" 

but in tooltip renders "test" h2 formatting.

is possible ?

yes, not possible, should work same in "repeater".

the function used (server.htmlencode) perfect this.

the following should work fine

<td class="activitydescriptiontooltip" title="<%# server.htmlencode("<h2>test</h2>") %>"> 

the problem code encode string twice (therefore tooltip show encoded string).

instead of this:

<td class="activitydescriptiontooltip" title="<%# server.htmlencode(server.htmlencode(eval("activitydescription") string)) %>"> 

try this:

<td class="activitydescriptiontooltip" title="<%# server.htmlencode(eval("activitydescription") string) %>">

edit:

you stated not work. think does.

check out this fiddle. can see html is:

<div title="&lt;h2&gt;test&lt;/h2&gt;">asdf</div> 

and if hover on div in down-right (result) frame, tooltip shows <h2>test</h2> fine. in ie10, ff , chrome @ least. (i haven't tried other browsers, stunned if worked differently in matter).

edit2:

the jquery tooltip plugin old , outdated plugin, require 1 level of encoding:

check this fiddle

<div title="&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;test&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;">asdf</div> 

it encoded twice , shows fine.

on other hand not recommend plugin. jquery ui tooltip better choice you.
