Answer 1

What you want it not possible with the standard tooltip (title attribute). It is up to browsers to display it any way they want.

You may have to resort to some javascript implementation of a tooltip.

Note that with CCS3 you may have a chance of doing it without javascript: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8788410/508666

Don't know about browser support for it though. Also it still displays the default title.

Answer 2

The other methods describes the way to make the text in the td cell bold, but what he wants is to make the tooltip bold.

Note that the tooltip is a browser depend feature, so i don't think you can't control the font-weight really. You might want to make build your own custom tooltips with some javacript. so you get full control of the markup.

You might want to try te following though in your external stylesheet

td[title] { font-weight:bold; }
